More Praise

Chris Dixon: “This is a great book that complements Peter Thiel’s classic Zero to One (an alternative title for Elad’s book would be “1 to n”). Everyone interested in the growth stage of startups should read it.” Brian Armstrong: "Elad is one of the most experienced operators in Silicon Valley having seen numerous companies hit their inflection point. His advice has been key for Coinbase as we go through hypergrowth, from hiring executives to improving M&A."

My only gripe is that he didn’t write this when we were in the early days of Box as it would have saved my ass countless times.”
