Acknowledgments 
 
Very special thanks go to Matthew Linderman. Matt was 37signals' first 
employee in 1999--and he's still with the company today. This book wouldn't have come 
together without Matt. In addition to writing original content, he helped merge the 
distinctly different writing styles of the coauthors into a focused, cohesive book. He made 
it look easy, but it wasn't easy work. Thank you, Matt. 
 
We also want to thank our families, our customers, and everyone at 37signals. 
And here's a list of some of the people we know, and don't know, who have inspired us in 
one way or another:Frank Lloyd Wright Seth Godin Warren Buffett Jamie Larson 
Clayton Christensen Ralph Nader Jim Coudal Benjamin Franklin Ernest Kim Jeff Bezos 
Scott Heiferman Antoni Gaudi Carlos Segura Larry David Steve Jobs Dean Kamen Bill
