How to be a successful startup founder (Jessica Livingston, investor – reddit, kiko etc)

Here is a great video from authors@google from Jessica Livingston.

Jessica is one of the founding partners of Y-Combinator, a really innovative early stage tech venture capital firm who has funded reddit (who sold to conde-nast/wiredmagazine) , kiko and more than 30 web startups in 3 years and who wrote the book, Founders at Work.

In her book Jessica interviews startup founders from paypal, hotornot, hotmail, google, blogger, apple computers, viaweb and 30 other highly successful web and tech startups.

I bought the book a few months ago, and whilst i had read most of it, i really enjoyed this video from google as it condenses the best bits of the book into a 35 minute talk.

If you are interested in how to start a successful startup, i would totally suggest watching jessica speaking at google. (the first 5 mins are slow, but she really gets into some great insights for startup founders in her talk)
