Disrupted: My Misadventure in the Start-Up Bubble by Dan Lyons

4.0

First impressions is that this is not a book written for someone like me, a 20-something kid just a few years out of university in a marketing job. At first I thought: wow, this entitled old fart certainly thinks he’s better than everyone. However, Lyons does have a witty way of presenting his situation and provides a fun-to-read description of how he experienced working in a new tech start-up. I can honestly say that as a millennial I would probably not be a HEART person myself. I am kind of disappointed, but not entirely surprised by what he is saying about HubSpot and their development versus actually using their own product to get further in business. All in all, the book was a fun read, and offers what I believe to be a more accurate representation of what working in the newest, hottest, tech start-ups would feel like for us “normal” people.
