Not so much suggestions on who to interview, but more of a suggestion on a format for the book.

My personal thoughts would be for the book to take a different route, than to being the same information which can already be found on the website, albeit in a little more detail.

Being an entrepreneur can be a lonely business, as not many people understand us and our motivations. Mixergy makes it less 'lonely' by making other entreprenuers feel close and accessible.

So personally, I think rather than showcasing successful companies, it could focus on the people.

A book which I can imagine working, is a book made up of lots of little segments, each segment profiling a different entrepreneur. It could start with a powerful quote, background to the person, startup history of that person, major difficulties etc. It could then end the profile, by summarising their 'tips for success'.

How the book could be used? Almost like a wiki of fantastic entreprenuers – in a book proud to stand on any bookshelf.

Plus it makes great bedtime reading, as the thought we go to sleep on, as those fantastic quotes, tips and advice, would work their magic during sleep – so next morning we probably wake up buzzing and charged to take on the world lol

Sorry for such a long comment here, but let me know if you like the idea, I could whip up an example profile and email it to you.
