Distilled from hard-won experience and dozens of interviews with founders and VCs, Deepti provides a roadmap to navigate the entrepreneurial ecosystem highlighting leadership skills, research-based tools, and an actionable framework necessary to manifest your ideas into powerful strategies. You will learn about — converting ideas to conviction, brand building and strategic networking to acquire influence and persuade investors and customers alike. Through exemplary stories of successful founders, she provides evidence that opportunities are not limited by gender nor ethnicity. Who gets mentored, sponsored, supported, and funded is not a function of the brilliance of an idea or one’s inherited attributes. But, an outcome of how one embodies inspirational qualities and influential convictions. If you’re ready to create something from nothing, in building a company from “zero to one,” this book is in the right hands—your hands.
