Unicorns—companies that reach a valuation of more than $1 billion—are rare。 Uri Levine has built two。
And in Fall in Love with the Problem， Not the Solution， he shows you just how he did it。

The book is written by a serial entrepreneur， who is known for building the first unicorn in Israel… he shares his experience of building startups… and I can say from my own journey that he manages to capture a reasonably accurate perspective of the roller coaster journey - the various phases， real challenges， shifting priorities， constant uncertainty… and the surprising reality that the only thing that prevails is unwavering belief， perseverance against all odds and the desire to make an impact The book is written by a serial entrepreneur， who is known for building the first unicorn in Israel… he shares his experience of building startups… and I can say from my own journey that he manages to capture a reasonably accurate perspective of the roller coaster journey - the various phases， real challenges， shifting priorities， constant uncertainty… and the surprising reality that the only thing that prevails is unwavering belief， perseverance against all odds and the desire to make an impact… The book is structured well， is easy to read and is a useful guide to someone who is starting the journey， or anyone else who wants a glimpse of the reality behind the scenes of those glamourous exits…I would not say that I found new insights… but it was more an affirmation of what I have learnt from own experiences， a reminder to focus on the value being generated， and the encouragement to continue on the journey despite it being hard， long and lonely。 。。。more

Being an entrepreneur myself， this book is a huge eye-opener to so many junctions of building a start-up。 I particularly love the examples Uri uses in the book to emphasise each point - they are all coming from real-life experiences and make the points a lot more valid and concrete than many other books I've read in the genre。 If you are starting a new company， it's a must-book to have on your desk。 Being an entrepreneur myself， this book is a huge eye-opener to so many junctions of building a start-up。 I particularly love the examples Uri uses in the book to emphasise each point - they are all coming from real-life experiences and make the points a lot more valid and concrete than many other books I've read in the genre。 If you are starting a new company， it's a must-book to have on your desk。 。。。more
