  4. Naked Finance: Business Finance Pure and Simple by David Meckin,
  5. Running Lean by Ash Maurya, and ultimately
  6. The Holy Bible (changed my worthless life completely).

The Customer-Funded Business - John Mullins A look at high-growth without VC investment. Examples are from all over the world. Pre-pay models feature, which are a particular opportunity in African markets.

I Write What I Like - Steve Biko Written about Black Consciousness under Apartheid but applies broadly to freedom of thought. Must read for any iconclastic founder who wants to create a new paradigm.

The Idealist - Nina Munk An account of one of the biggest failtures in NGO/charity models to raise Africans out of poverty.

Value Proposition Design - Alex Osterwalder Visual book full of structured models for building things customers want. Helps first-time founders clarify their thinking.
