Summary
In reality, life as a startup founder is all about dealing with crisis after crisis. Even the most seasoned founders can get disoriented or worse, suffer from overload. Serial entrepreneur Kelly Fitzsimmons was headed for a breakdown at one point until it became a life and death experience. In the throes of despair, she rallied and came back, but not without the scars of a warrior still fresh. She tells her tale not to entertain, but to teach you the way through. In her new book, Lost in Startuplandia, she goes beyond the glitz of Silicon Valley and focuses on you, the founder, just as she was to show you the way back to sanity. She’s here to tell her story and to help you in your own mission of starting startups.
