About this listen

From venture capitalist Ben Wiener comes a rollicking debut novel that artfully blends business strategy with murder mystery and keeps you guessing to the very end.

Addie Morita, a frustrated young crime researcher, finally gets her big career break when a serial killer targets her successful former classmates from an elite San Francisco Bay Area college. Addie must match wits with both the taunting killer and the intimidating special agent assigned to the case, racing to decipher key clues buried in a famous start-up strategy book - before it’s too late.

Murder at First Principles is the debut start-up fiction novel by successful venture capitalist Ben Wiener. Written as a murder mystery, the plot is designed to enlighten and entertain, introducing listeners to Hamilton Helmer’s iconic work 7 Powers and its seven market-proven strategies for sustained competitive advantage. Every suspect in this story is hiding something - strap yourself in and try to uncover their secrets while discovering the secret “powers” innovative businesses harness to create persistent differential returns.
