Start-up Nation
A very good and shrewd friend of mine suggested at dinner tonight that I read Start-up Nation: The Story of Israel’s Economic Miracle
“There is a great deal for America to learn from the very impressive Israeli entrepreneurial model… START-UP NATION is a playbook for every CEO who wants to develop the next generation of corporate leaders.”
(Tom Brokaw, special correspondent for NBC News, and bestselling author of The Greatest Generation )
“In the midst of the chaos of the Middle East, there’s a remarkable story of innovation. START-UP NATION is… a timely book and a much-needed celebration of the entrepreneurial spirit.”
(Meg Whitman, former CEO of eBay )
“Senor and Singer’s experience[s]…come to life in their illuminating, timely, and often surprising analysis.”
(George Stephanopoulos, anchor of ABC?s “This Week” )
There are 33+ reviews of the book at Amazon and this one caught my eye:
As a serial entrepreneur, VC and angel investor, and teacher of entrepreneurship for many years, I am enthralled by “Startup Nation”. It is a fascinating story of how Israel has succeeded disproportionately to its size and certainly to its geographic situation. It teaches valuable and unique lessons about region building and industry building. The principles of the country that stimulate individual entrepreneurial behavior in the military, in agriculture, and especially in high technology are lessons for all. I have shared the book with several leaders of industry and finance who have seen it as a remarkably interesting read.
Congratulations to the authors.
So, I am now ordering Start-up Nation: The Story of Israel’s Economic Miracle
