Mat Sherman: 'Build An Incorruptible Company'

Seedscout founder Mat Sherman writes about how Eric Ries invested $15K in his startup via a three-word email during COVID and became his mentor. Sherman describes the book as examining how successful companies abandon founding principles and offering structural approaches to resist the pressure to compromise.

“I put it out there, then got on my bike and rode for about 15 minutes to Sip Coffee in Old Town Scottsdale. Right before I got there, I received a simple email that said three words: 'I'll do it.' The email was from Eric Ries, the author of The Lean Startup and founder of LTSE.” — Forward Thinking by Mat Sherman
