It’s nice to finally start to read more stories about women founders. This book kept me engaged and was great at including terms for those new to the start up world. Although I love seeing companies that succeed it’s also important to highlight those that struggle and examine how those challenges came about. The behind the scenes was incredibly informative and I learned a lot about all the pressure and pushback of trying to change an industry. This was a great read and I hope to see more like it!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc

This book offers an interesting look into startup culture and collaboration, especially from a leadership and teamwork perspective. I appreciated the real-world focus and the way it highlights different personalities working toward a shared goal.

The insights feel practical and grounded, particularly for readers interested in business or entrepreneurship. It’s clear a lot of thought went into illustrating group dynamics and decision-making.

That said, it leans more analytical than emotional, which made it a bit harder for me to stay fully engaged at times. It works best when read in smaller chunks.

Overall, this is a solid nonfiction pick for readers curious about startups, leadership, and team-building. Informative and thoughtful, even if not particularly narrative-driven.
