Incorruptible: a conversation with Eric Ries and Roy Bahat
Join us for a private conversation with author Eric Ries and Roy Bahat of Bloomberg Beta.
In Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad... and How Great Companies Stay Great, Eric Ries (author of The Lean Startup) starts with a question most founders eventually ask themselves: why does success so often seem to change companies for the worse? The values that made a company worth building somehow drift. The decisions start looking different and leaders who cared deeply find themselves making calls they wouldn't have made at the start. Ownership structures, incentives, and accountability mechanisms reshape behavior as companies scale. What might it look like to design a company that stays the course?
📚 We will also give pre-order copies of the book to attendees, so you can receive the book on the day it comes out (officially launching May 26).
