    Startup, Scaleup, Screwup is the book for the new generation of founders. With a mix of 50% inspiring stories and 50% practices to follow, it dives into the major topics that entrepreneurs and business leaders are confronted with from the moment they start a new company to the day they close the doors behind them.

    It is also a book about the European successes: Spotify, Typeform, Zalando, Booking, Rovio, and many others, have stories that are waiting to be told. Where do they get innovative ideas? How do they pick from funding options? How do they stay lean and agile while growing? And what were their biggest mistakes so far?
