Silicon Valley Stories: A sampler of startups, stories, and lessons learned

By Adam Beguelin

People think that joining a startup is a surefire way to get rich. The odds are against you, but it does happen.

Silicon Valley Stories: A sampler of startups, stories, and lessons learned is about the hits and the misses. It's about how people handle life in the start-up world. It includes true accounts from inside Inktomi, AOL, Truveo, and a handful of other Silicon Valley startups. As a tenured member of start-up culture, Beguelin helps readers explore the world of startups. He breaks down the ins and outs of how that world works.

In this book, Adam helps readers find the answers to:

What's it really like to work at a startup? How do you get a startup off the ground? How do you find funding for your startup? What do people do after making (or losing) millions in the startup game?

Being an entrepreneur is about creativity and this book takes you through how that plays out from launching a startup through retirement. Readers can learn from Adam's failures and successes with a guide that will help you not only create a business, but create a life you love.
