Diary of a Start-Up
the rise and fall of ArsDigita
and lessons from the world of venture capital
This is a story about a company. A company that was profitable from Day 1. A company that built products that were useful to many other companies. A company that had ethics...
That is, until the venture capitalists arrived on the scene. Lying to customers and employees became commonplace. Greed replaced philanthropy... [Eve Andersson]
...Wow! I read this and I could feel so much of the pain that I have had to go through in the past five years of working in start-ups. It's tough to attach yourself to a dream only to watch it die through incompetence, greed, and just plain evil behavior. Lies come so easily to some people...I don't understand how some can lie so easily...My last employer ripped my heart out, it's going to be a long while before I trust anyone, and that is what angers me the most...mj
ps. what's the other side of the story??
