The Top 10 Must Read Entrepreneurship Books of 2012
I’m proud to announce that UNDER30CEO just declared Startup Communities: Building an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem in Your City, as one of the top 10 entrepreneurship books of 2012! It’s humbling to be listed among such an impressive cohort of books that includes Reid Hoffman and Ben Casnocha’s The Startup Of You, Noam Wasserman’s The Founder’s Dilemmas: Anticipating and Avoiding the Pitfalls That Can Sink a Startup, as well as Steve Blank and Bob Dorf’s The Startup Owner’s Manual. I’ll stop there and encourage you to read about the whole list at Under30CEO.com, but if you’d like to skip ahead I’ve included a list of the books with links to their Amazon pages for purchase.
