| Summary |
A selection of interview-driven stories told by the Polish female founders who successfully made it to Silicon Valley. The introductions to the book are by Ari Horie, Founder and CEO of Women's Startup Lab, and by Professor Piotr Moncarz of Stanford University. The interviewees: Patrycja Slawuta "SelfHackathon"; Ela Madej "50 Years"; Julia Krysztofiak-Szopa, Amelia Krysztofiak "Wellfitting"; Kate Scisel "Contact IQ"; Zuzanna Stanska "DailyArt, Moiseum"; Kamila Sidor "Geek Girls Carrots." I decided to write a book with the focus on female founders because although women are playing an increasingly important role in the technology and business worlds, they still face unique challenges and hurdles which can be particularly acute in the fast-paced start-up environment. My interviewees came from Poland to Silicon Valley and succeeded |
