Quick Introduction To 10 Interesting Tech Entrepreneurs This book contains only around 70 pages of actual reading. Gives a quick no-nonsense brief introduction to 10 people that have had a serious impact on the way we use the internet today. Its a good resource to use to check out the who's who in the industry, then to seek out individual biographies for the ones that you found interesting.
Some of the individuals never finished college and others have doctoral degrees, but each had an idea that they were able to bring to fruition and most made oodles of money in the process. The writing is accessible to reluctant readers and students should be able to identify many of the products described such as Yahoo, Intel, AOL, and Apple. They range from Larry Ellison, who founded Oracle, to Jeff Bezos, who started , and Esther Dyson, who edits the industry newsletter Release 1.0 and serves as chairperson of the Electronic Frontiers Foundation.
