This book is also available in Dutch. You can find it here.

Silicon Valley is much more than the home of the world’s most powerful companies. It is a vibrant place where the constant drive for innovation determines everything, thinking big is the norm and startups grow into billion-dollar empires. What is going on here? And what can you learn from the Valley’s entrepreneurs?

Serial entrepreneur Wibe Wagemans and tech journalist Eva Schram have lived and worked in the epicenter of innovation for years. Together they unravel a mysterious world with its own laws and customs. With inspiring examples and practical tips, they explain how the Valley beats all competition and how you can do that, too.

The Secret of Silicon Valley is a book for entrepreneurs, managers, creatives, and dreamers. A book for adventurers looking for an experienced guide. A book for people who want to move forward.

The e-book is available in Dutch (Het geheim van Silicon Valley) and in English (The Secret of Silicon Valley).
