I read a number of books and articles, but none hit the mark like Incorruptible

Federica, writing as an early-stage founder who'd spent months hunting for guidance on building mission-protected companies, says Incorruptible was the first book to put the framework into words she could use with other founders and investors.

“This is one of the best books I have read recently, and I can't recommend it enough. I am an early founder, and I spent the last months trying to figure out how to build a company that is mission-protected. I read a number of books and articles, but none hit the mark like Incorruptible. Eric Ries was able to put into word many concepts I thought about but didn't really know how to articulate. I particularly loved the examples: now, when I talk to other founders or investors about steward ownership and the perils of short-term profit maximization, I have so many clear examples to share that bring the concepts to life. I think every aspiring entrepreneur should read this book. It is clear that building a startup is not just about shipping an MVP out fast, but founders should think early also about how to build in a way that protects the company and their work in the long term, and that allows a company to survive and thrive in the long term.” — Federica on Goodreads
