Dan Lyons was Technology Editor at Newsweek Magazine for years, a
magazine writer at the top of his profession. One Friday morning he
received a phone call: his job no longer existed. Fifty years old
and with a wife and two young kids, Dan was unemployed and facing
financial oblivion. Then an idea hit. Dan had long reported on
Silicon Valley and the tech explosion. Why not join it? HubSpot, a
Boston start-up, was flush with $100 million in venture capital.
They offered Dan a pile of stock options for the nebulous role of
"marketing fellow." What could possibly go wrong? What follows is a
hilarious and excoriating account of Dan's time at the start-up and
a revealing window onto the dysfunctional culture that prevails in
a world flush with cash and devoid of experience. Filled with
stories of meaningless jargon, teddy bears at meetings, push-up
competitions and all-night parties, this uproarious tale is also a
trenchant analysis of the dysfunctional start-up world, a de facto
conspiracy between those who start companies and those who fund
them. It is a world where bad ideas are rewarded with hefty
investments, where companies blow money lavishing perks on their
post-collegiate workforces, and where everybody is trying to hang
on just long enough to cash out with a fortune.
