For me as a newbie it’s a good basic foundation. I feel like it many areas could have been expanded on. It’s a good book though and I’ve made some notes with teachings that I would never have thought of on my own, which I’m sure will prove useful in the future as I grow my business to make it more attractive and ways to increase the valuation easily.

A good but basic introduction - could be expanded on

Does what is says on the cover.

I'm a SaaS co founder CEO, beginning to think about my next career steps. Adam Coffey's book is both practical and inspiring to read if you're a founder with tons of relevant experience, but not enough cash in bank (or enough hobbies ;) to retire yet

A huge help to my post-founder career

Fantastic Book

I found this book to be useful and interesting. It gave a good overview of how things work and what is important. It also gave examples from the author’s real life experiences.
It is quite a short book though, and would have been more useful if it had gone into a bit more depth.

Useful introduction with practical advice

Insightful and informative. I very much enjoyed this book. I would recommend it as an entry level guide for anyone considering a career in a private equity portfolio company.

Interesting

When I bought this, I was hoping for a deep dive into concepts, perhaps case studies, and an overall very informative, educational book.

I would see the truthful headline as more of a “Should you consider a career in private equity”

Too generic for my liking

Incredibly frustrating how the recording and the chapter menu do not match up. The narrator is saying Chapter 1, while the menu says Chapter 4. Really basic stuff that is beyond annoying. A PDF of the contents page of the book would also be helpful.

The book itself is interesting and a useful overview.

Annoying
