Alexis Ohanian

A WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER As Alexis Ohanian learned when he helped to co-found the immensely popular reddit.com, the internet is the most powerful and democratic tool for disseminating information in human history. And when that power is harnessed to create new communities, technologies, businesses or charities, the results can be absolutely stunning. In this book, Alexis will share his ideas, tips and even his own doodles about harnessing the power of the web for good, and along the way, he will share his philosophy with young entrepreneurs all over the globe. At 29, Ohanian has come to personify the dorm-room tech entrepreneur, changing the world without asking permission. Within a couple of years of graduating from the University of Virginia, Ohanian did just that, selling reddit for millions of dollars. He's gone on to start many other companies, like hipmunk and breadpig, all while representing Y Combinator and investing in over sixty other tech startups. WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION is his personal guidebook as to how other aspiring entrepreneurs can follow in his footsteps.

How the 21st Century Will Be Made, Not Managed

Startup advice was pretty spot on if you know the basics already, the silicon valley will always fight for internet freedom/free market/internet companies create jobs mantras did not age well in wake of things like SOSTA, the supposed "free market" not being so free, and the internet destroying full-time jobs with benefits in countries that do not have state provided benefits.

outdated, read a few chapters of it. It would have been better if Alexis had hired a writer.

Nat Welch

A good casual introduction to Software Startups and Internet Communities. It can sometimes feel a little repetitive, but Alexis is just talking from his experiences. You can see the events in his life that lead him to his current state of mind and how the current and past state of the internet have helped him succeed. Interesting read, especially if you don't already know his story.
