As a 3-time startup founder and 5-time entrepreneur, Étienne has worked in the trenches of building tech companies and introducing innovative products.

The book is crammed with advice and diagnostics, peppered with hundreds of powerful quotes from many of the greatest minds in product — and tethered to reality by more than two dozen highly relevant case studies.
