Startup Stories: Founder Experiences Building Tech Companies for All While Elevating Diverse Communities - Paperback

Startup Stories: Founder Experiences Building Tech Companies for All While Elevating Diverse Communities collects seven case studies.

Details

Each case is one company and one problem. Surviving a pandemic, changing what customers do, rebranding, paying creators, reaching a niche, backing a first time founder.

How it works

The cases finish on a decision rather than an answer. You are asked what you would do, what could go wrong, and what the fallback looks like.

That makes it a seminar text more than a reading book. Alone on a shelf it does less work than it does in a room with an argument going on.
