Second Edition published 2023 - professionally edited and substantially rewritten.
An entrepreneur's dream or a family’s nightmare. Can John develop a ground-breaking technology to break through his son’s autistic isolation, or will he break up his family in the attempt? This is the story of an ordinary man, a loving husband and father, driven to risk his home and his family’s security to create a better future for them all. The reluctant entrepreneur and his wife fall head-first into the cut-throat and unpredictable world of high-tech business and unscrupulous investors. John soon discovers that everything comes with a price as he strives to help his son. Will it cost him his marriage and family and their future together?
Eerily familiar - every founder (and family) should read this
The author has clearly seen so many founders through so many stages os startups. The book is written for easy reading. Honestly it’s a mystery why anyone starts companies and how anyone’s marriage survives - every person is good and trying to do good but it’s their first time in each situation and they don’t know how to behave, so it is a catalogue of accumulated wrong decisions, bad actions and hurt feelings.
