Packed with insider accounts from leaders who have realized bold visions, The Unstoppable Startup distills Israeli chutzpah into six operational rules that will help you to: Adoni implemented these practices throughout his more than 12 years as a venture capitalist for one of Israel's most successful venture funds, and he continues to utilize these same proven startup strategies today in metropolitan areas in the US.

Review:
I was asked to read this book for a work trip and it was very interesting. We are headed to Israel for a Global MBA requirement and so we will experience start-ups in Israel first-hand when we arrive with company visits. This was a great lead up to that. The author did a great job talking about all different types of tech start-ups and how Israel is positioned so well to help build them. He overviews the people and the qualities that make good start-up leaders and then shows through examples.
The beginning of the book is all about Israeli chutzpah and how the people can be a bit different than those in other parts of the world and how it works in their advantage. He then talks about start ups the rules to help you and then gives lots of detail about how to go about certain aspects. Even if you aren't in Israel I think this would be a great book for those interested in learning how to build a start-up and what it might entail, both the good and bad.
