Founders: A unique species of humans engaged in the most productive action that ego can drive. Who put in every ounce of energy to survive and succeed big. Whose journey is so transformative that many lifetimes worth of evolution can get packed into it. Tightrope to the Moon takes readers into the mind of the ‘mega founder’ and decodes how they think, operate and successfully navigate the ultra-competitive startup racetrack. The book unpeels how the founder’s need to prove is first born in a tangible form, grows bigger, survives blow after blow, and yet comes out in front to lead the pack. Based on the author’s over two decades of experience as a venture capitalist, the book uses incisive insights and compelling case studies to unravel the secrets of successful founders. A must-read for founders, their families and their co-workers, this seminal work is a much-needed account of how founders walk the long, treacherous road to success.
