The $100 Startup — Chris Guillebeau

The $100 Startup proves that entrepreneurship isn't reserved for the elite by profiling 50 founders who each built businesses earning $50,000 or more from minimal capital. Chris Guillebeau's research shows that 40% of these entrepreneurs started with less than $1,000, debunking the myth that you need a Stanford degree or venture backing. This book is 30% cheaper than the average business title at $13.99, yet delivers more case studies per page than #5 (Rework). Each profile includes a concrete revenue figure and time-to-profit, making the evidence undeniable: you can start a real company from a spare bedroom.
