If you're inclined to read up on this topic, read Paul Graham's (free) essays instead. Don't buy this VCs book.

For instance, here's an article which talks about unit economics, aka why the bird company mentioned failed http://www.paulgraham.com/aord.html

Why do you prefer PG’s essays to these books?
They are not in audiobook form
I’ve found that Amazon’s TTS service is a great way to listen to any kindle book (including ones borrowed from the library). I don’t have any Alexa devices, but I downloaded the Alexa app and use it to read books aloud as do other things.

The main annoyance is that when resuming a book, it often restarts a couple minutes before I left off.
