The Insider's Playbook for Daring Entrepreneurs

About this book

Silicon Valley is not the glossy utopia our promising youth has been sold; it’s a modern-day Colosseum where overclocked misfits battle for their shot at unicorn status and glory. Forget the embroidered zip hoodies and free kombucha fantasies—in Tech Confidential, two renegade insiders cut through the buzzwords and bullsh*t. They show that your dreams of changing the world are possible, but success has a high price and the person you were before may not like the person you become. 

This book dishes out hard-earned strategies to help you not just survive but thrive in a world that chews people up and spits them out in the name of “innovation.”

Inside these pages, you’ll meet brilliant oddballs racing to launch the next big product, engineers treating the next line of code as their personal Everest, and leaders juggling corporate politics while one breath away from the company’s last gasp. Along the way, the authors deliver sharp, painfully relatable anecdotes and practical strategies that show you how to:

  • Tame your ego to navigate corporate politics like a pro
  • Embrace the misfits and survive toxic colleagues
  • Moneyball the market to build products people want
  • Get money or get out

Packed with insights, humor, and hard-won hope, this essential guide is for anyone daring to dream big in the tech world—and still wanting a life left to enjoy.
