Startup Book Reading List

September 14, 2022 by Kenny Eliason Leave a Comment

So with this new SaaS startup I’m working on, I’ve been reading a bunch of books, and I plan on reading a bunch more. Even started an event with the local startup group here in town called “ReadUp” where we will read one book per month and discuss it.

Let me know if I should add any to my list by leaving a note down in the comments.

In no particular order, here’s my list of must-read startup books, and if I find the time I’ll add a review after I’m done with it.

Hooked
Monetizing Innovation
The Mom Test
Nail It then Scale It
Good to Great
Crossing the Chasm
Business Model Generation
The New Business Road Test
The Innovator's Dilemma
The E-Myth Revisited
Venture Deals
What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20
Zero to One
Traction
The Lean Startup
Wanting
Start from Zero
Slicing Pie Handbook
The Startup Playbook
Startup CEO
Getting More
Do More Faster
The Hard Thing About Hard Things
