Many recent college graduates are underemployed or struggling to find a fulfilling career. They exit MBA programs with major firms in mind then often find the corporate grind uninspiring. They fail to see the possibility of a startup, a small up-and-comer where they can be creative and take risks. Steve Kahan will be the first to tell you he knew nothing about tech when he first went to work at a tech start-up many years ago. He was desperate to leave his safe corporate job and do something he could feel passionate about - and he did. In the 30+ years he's spent in the tech start-up world he's worked for seven of them, and the first six have either successfully sold or have gone public, generating over $2.5 billion in shareholder value. This book teaches recent graduates and job-seekers how to turn their general business acumen into a successful career at a tech startup.
