Recommendation
Friedrich Nietzsche was an original, radical 19th-century philosopher who tore down the discipline’s contemporary values. Future-oriented, he sought to change how people saw themselves and their culture. He may seem an incongruous patron for modern business, but like today’s entrepreneurs, Nietzsche sought to transform ways of doing business in his time – as entrepreneurs now apply transformative technologies to disrupt industries. Start-up experts Dave Jilk and Brad Feld offer pithy quotes from Nietzsche as gateways for exploring entrepreneurship. They provide surprising, poetic points of contrast between today’s entrepreneurs and a significant, seminal thinker who valued freedom and creativity above all.
