Description
Start-Up Century: A Fresh Look at the Boom in Entrepreneurship and Start-Ups The number of new businesses launched in recent years is at an all-time high, with more people than ever considering starting their own ventures. This shift is driven by new technologies like artificial intelligence and automation, which are changing the way we work. In Start-Up Century, venture capitalist and technology commentator James Wise explores the entrepreneurial frontiers ahead of us, the opportunities to be seized, and the challenges that come with this new way of working. Wise examines the impact of automation on traditional firms and the need to close the digital divide, make education relevant again, and make public services more innovative. He also shares personal tales and interviews with entrepreneurs, from teenage side-hustlers to the CEOs of multi-billion-dollar successes. With a positive view of how individuals and start-ups can solve the challenges of the 21st century, Start-Up Century offers a compelling vision for the future of work. By exploring the opportunities and challenges of the start-up era, Wise provides a timely and thought-provoking analysis of the world we live in today.
