A highly recommended read for anyone who wants to enter into the start up space.
Marc describes his journey from brainstorming ideas to coming with the idea of rental DVDs. The candid nature of the start up ecosystem, with a humorous take on Silicon Valley, the early days of Netflix and the journey of making extremely hard decisions (dropping DVD sales to focus on the rental business even though they were only 3percent of the revenue for example, getting laughed by Blockbuster for the 50million dollar valuation) are just interesting snippets. Netflix has a 200 BILLION dollar valuation right now, btw.
Throughout this whole journey, you will learn a lot, most importantly, to believe in your idea and START by taking the leap of faith. An interesting read about a beautiful story filled with obstacles. Maybe Netflix can release a documentary around the same :)

Interesting read!!
