Finance Should Be a First-Class Discipline for Startups

By Chris Yeh on October 10, 2013

Tim O’Reilly, the founder of the O’Reilly media empire, published a great longform essay recently titled, “How I Failed“. It’s a phenomenal read which covers a wide variety of topics, including how O’Reilly sold GNN to AOL for $15 million in stock, sold that stock as soon as the lockup expired for $30 million, and […]
