I list the top business books I've read over the previous year each January. At the end of 2024, The Venture Mindset by Ilya Strebulaev and Alex Dang will easily be in my top three and possibly my overall favorite.
The Venture Mindset reads fast and reminds me a little of Kahneman, Munger, and books about Buffett.
Some of the big ideas we cover in this episode with both authors include roof shots vs. moonshots, betting on jockeys vs. the horses, winning at the piggy bank game, and what we can learn from student VC partnerships.
This book is not just for those in the VC community. There are many takeaways for those working in and running small businesses.
