Out-Innovate: How Global Entrepreneurs - from Delhi to Detroit - Are Rewriting the Rules of Silicon Valley

Out-Innovate by Alexandre Lazarow as the title suggests - How global entrepreneurs, from Delhi to Detroit - are rewriting the rules of Silicon Valley, is an outlook on what the author calls "Frontier" entrepreneurs; startups operating outside Silicon Valley. With rich expertise and experience from his venture capital days, the author breaks down the challenges, obstacles, and constraints that entrepreneurs face outside the valley, and how they need to constantly adopt and evolve to different ecosystems to succeed - sometimes, even building entire ecosystems from scratch in nascent global economiesAcross 12 well defined and exclusive chapters, each dedicated to one challenge that frontier entrepreneurs face, the author has designed the flow of each chapter to: describing the obstacle/ challenge, success stories of entrepreneurs who swam against the tide, and principles for managing that specific challenge against established Silicon Valley best practices. With a wide breadth of examples around the world, the author has brought to light many frontier entrepreneurship examples that needed the light to be shone upon them. Truly appreciable effort on this front!This book is probably one of the first, maybe in a long time, that casts a positive and encouraging look at entrepreneurial spirit and ecosystems outside Silicon Valley. Covering the entire breadth of the startup ecosystem topics, this is a must-read for any enthusiastic entrepreneur, both in Silicon Valley and rest of the world. I wish that this book is one of the re-reads that sits in your library and is a constant beacon towards gaining entrepreneurial wisdom!
