Blitzscaling by Reid Hoffman (Founder, LinkedIn) is a fantastic book about the mindset and strategies required to scale startups :)

The Art of War Book by Sun Tzu
Noted! Thanks!
I think amazing books have already been shared. So I will share something a bit off, where you can learn lessons for the topic, even though it is not written for the topic: "The Campaigns of Napoleon - Book by David P. Chandler" This book is an excellent way to see the rise of a leader with great tactical ability and strategic decision making, and how at scale the needs for growing the ones below you and teaching them how to do your work is more important than your skill. I'm a bit of an history geek, but really, there are many lessons in agile, company management and different company stages in this one, if you are willing to make the connections. PS: Also has battle maps, but that is just a plus ;)
I'll give it some thought!
For those new to the startup world, I highly recommend 'The Hard Thing About Hard Things: Building a Business When There Are No Easy Answers' by Ben Horowitz (Founder of A16z). Another one which I also love is 'Amp It Up: Leading for Hypergrowth by Raising Expectations, Increasing Urgency, and Elevating Intensity' by Frank Slootman (CEO of Snowflake)
Good options! Noted! πŸ‘
This thread motivated me to resume reading πŸ“š
Indeed
Monetizing Innovation - great read!

My top 3 are: -The Lean Startup: How Today’s Entrepreneurs Use Continuous Innovation to Create Radically Successful Businesses -Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future -Blitzscaling: The Lightning-Fast Path to Building Massively Valuable Companies
These are really good! Most recommended

Platform Revolution by Parker, Alstyne, Choudary. It provides a comprehensive framework for scaling, specially for platforms but applicable to all startups with good tactics and examples.
Noted! Thanks!
One book I'd recommend for scaling startups is Zero to One by Peter Thiel. It offers a unique perspective on building companies that can achieve exponential growth.
