In The Hard Thing About Hard Things, Ben Horowitz shares some of the key lessons he learned during his entrepreneurial journey, including how to manage, train, and incentivize employees, the importance of courage as a CEO, and the difficult but necessary task of making tough firing decisions. We’ll discuss his early pioneering work in the cloud computing industry as the co-founder of Loudcloud and his later transition to the software business Opsware, which was eventually sold to HP for $1.65 billion. After the sale of Opsware, Horowitz and his business partner Marc Andreessen went on to form the venture capital firm A16Z, sharing the playbook they used to vault into the top tier of VC firms. This is a must-read for all CEOs, entrepreneurs, managers or founders!
