Secrets of Silicon Valley by Deborah Perry Piscione

Description

While the global economy is going through turbulent times and many investors remain risk-averse, a small corner of America, already responsible for some of the main innovations of the last decades, continues to fly high: Silicon Valley. In “Secrets of Silicon Valley”, Deborah Perry Piscione reveals the reason for the amazing success of this community. The book takes us inside a vibrant ecosystem that values innovative ideas, where meritocracy prevails, collaboration and information sharing are essential, and ideas are the main currency. Explores Silicon Valley's uniquely risk-tolerant culture and the special role of the area's immigrant population, showing how these factors drive progress regardless of global economic indicators. Based on interviews with venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs, among others, and bringing a series of case studies, such as Google, Tesla and Paypal, Perry Piscione shows how the innovative culture of Silicon Valley can contribute to other communities and inspire change in entrenched industries that are unable to respond to today's global challenges.
