Lost and Founder: A Painfully Honest Field Guide to the Startup World Reviews
Honest, useful and instructive, Fishkin?s tale is full of insights that are hard-won. While his take on things startup might not resonate for everyone, his perspective is valuable for study. ...
I?m not sure why I read this book. I know Rand and Geraldine but just barely. I know nearly nothing about Moz. I don?t work in tech. And although I work in marketing I have just surface knowledge of SEO. But I decided to preorder this book for a couple of reasons: my father-in-law ...
Would I love this book as much if I wasn?t such a Fishkin fan girl? I think so. It?s funny, informative, and a much needed break from the tropes of startup land. ...
Part startup tutorial, part deepest confessions, this book is excellent. Rand Fishkin, the former CEO of Moz, exposes the truth behind Silicon Valley startup myths. He?s brutally honest about his and his company?s successes and failures, and that?s refreshing. From discussion of ...
I'm a big fan of Whiteboard Fridays and was truly looking forward to reading this book. It delivered. Rand Fishkin tells a noise-canceling story of a SaaS startup that had a truly exceptional trajectory. With both feet on the ground and painfully honest, Rand explains what VC funding d...
It really feels like rand fishkin is speaking to your directly. Lots of insights in this book. ...
As a big fan of Rand's work on Moz (especially his pro tips on Twitter and Whiteboard Friday's), this book was a great look behind the curtain on the true nature of running a venture backed SaaS business. When I first started reading this book, I thought it was amazing. The first f...
Very refreshing to hear the other side of startups and entrepreneurship in a meaningful way. Rand didn't hide anything. His true vulnerability was much appreciated. ...
Stimulating and valuable review of the development of an excellent seo company and the trials and tribulations of managing a team, raising money, satisfying investors and balancing personal life. Fishkin has good humor and true humility, and he is amazingly and unexpectedly frank on so...- ...
Fun read! I enjoyed Rand's writing style and open honesty about himself and how startups really work. He provides a wealth of information that founders typically learn the hard way, such as how raising money with investors really works. Recommended read if you are or are considering be...
This is the most honest, authentic storytelling of startups from a CEO, it reveals the highs, lows, and their effects on the founders themselves and their family. In addition, this book provides some ?cheat codes? for anyone who is eager to start her own journey in startup. Seve...
It is quite an experience I must say. I have spent 5+ years in adtech working for startups and giants but... there is lots of stuff to learn from this book. VC, stuff, product management and basic SAAS operations. Highly recommended even though I would cut the vanilla lyrics here ...

A very honest insight into Moz and Rand. ...
Great read, especially if you're a Search nerd. Rand is a stand-up guy, and you can't help but feel heart ache for the ups and downs - and it was great to hear his thoughts on VC funding, MVPs, and all of the "conventional wisdom" of the valley and why it might always be the best choic...
Fantastic! One of the most honest and transparent books about the less glamorous sides of building a startup. One of my favorite books this year. ...
Some very good points - especially for those with limited experience in the startup funding/VC game :) I like the author's honesty, but it also came out (a bit too) bitter sometimes, which moved it from 5 to 4 stars for me. ...- One of the most honest books I read in a long time. Highly recommended!! ...
...
Deeply impressed by transparency and honesty of Rand Fishkin, the Founder of Moz. In this book, he shares the true story of how he successfully started Moz and then at some point failed with its growth, why he recently left the company, and what he learnt during these 16 years. He turn...
...
Very much enjoyed this book as Rand walked through his experience building Moz, raising funding, building new products, having to lay off employees, and everything else that goes in to starting a company. The storytelling is personal, but the advice he manages to weave in is useful for...
As a Moz-client and follower since 2008, I've been following a lot of the ups and downs from external. The internal Memoires of its founder made the picture more holistically. Rand, known for his transparency, shares a lot of vital insights that help me in my career. I founded an o...- ...
- Excellent read for anyone building a startup or is passionate about building teams. Have been a customer for Moz, now will definitely be an early adopter of SparkToro. Thanks for the share Rand. ...
Incredible book! So many insights about VC funding and startup world in general. If you are running a tech company it is must read. ...
As an SEO, I?ve always looked up to Rand. I found this book to be both entertaining and insanely helpful. It was interesting to learn all of Rand?s tips and cheat codes related to SEO and entrepreneurship. There is a lot of brutally honest introspective content in here. It seemed t...
Truly outstanding. One of the best books that I have read over the last few years. Great insight in to the battles that a founder faces on his or her road to a successful company ...
