- Founders keep asking me one thing:
- “What should I actually read?” 📚
- After working with early-stage founders across Europe, one pattern is clear to me:
- The best founders don’t just move fast. They learn fast.
- And reading is one of the fastest ways to avoid very expensive mistakes.
- Here are a few we consistently recommend at InspireXchange:
- The Mom Test – how to talk to users without lying to yourself
- Zero to One – building something that actually matters
- The Hard Thing About Hard Things – what leadership really feels like
- Traction – how to get your first users
- High Output Management – how to run teams that deliver
- Big insight?
- Startups don’t fail because of lack of ideas.
- They fail because founders repeat mistakes already written about 100 times.
- Reading won’t replace execution.
- But it will sharpen your decisions.
- If you want the full list – or thinking how to apply it to your startup – book a quick call (link in profile). I’m happy to share what actually works in practice.
- What book shaped your journey the most? 💭
