I never liked founders at work, there's nothing in there which you could learn. Here's the rating which I would to the book just like what Derek sivers did 2/10 - http://sivers.org/book/FoundersAtWork . It just turns out Jessica and PG has tons of influence in hacker community that's why you here her book being recommended all the time.

Alternative : Try Venture capitalist at work by Tarang Shah
