Who it's for
The story of the company, told by the people who built it
Company histories are usually press releases with a spine. This gathers the real one: the founder and the first ten people, interviewed separately by voice, with the disagreements kept.
What makes it work
Built for exactly this.
Many voices
Each person is interviewed on their own. The book keeps twelve distinct voices instead of one corporate one.
Scenes, not milestones
Day one. The week it nearly died. The hire that changed everything.
Designed, then written
The book gets a through-line before a word is drafted.
