I’ve read Adrian Slywotzky’s The Art of Profitability three times now, and each time I learn something new. According to its Amazon page, the book “offers 23 business lessons via the tale of a manager’s quest to learn the “art of profitability” from David Zhao, a wise master.” Each lesson starts with basic principles and uses the Socratic method to build up to a profitable business model. I think current founders, aspiring founders, investors, and employees would find this book valuable and practical. Here are some notes on the profit models that are most relevant to software companies – although the notes are no substitute for reading the book!
