By: Grant, Marcus

What does it take to see what others can't? To spot the next billion-dollar company before the world even knows its name?

From her early days in New Jersey to her groundbreaking success with Cowboy Ventures, this book reveals how Aileen Lee changed the way the world talks about innovation, leadership, and the future of entrepreneurship.
