THE BOOK
CONFESSIONS
OF A
STARTUP JUNKIE.
This isn't a playbook or a victory lap.
It's a candid account of what happens behind the headlines, when ambition collides with uncertainty, success comes at a cost, and the hardest part isn't starting the next company.
It's deciding not to.
By John Andrew Beane

PROLOGUE
“IF YOU JOIN THIS STARTUP, I GUARANTEE YOU'LL LEAVE RICHER.”
“Just not necessarily financially.”
“I say that to nervous job candidates. Then I pause, because what comes next is the part that matters: ‘Just not necessarily financially.’
That idea is one of the central truths of my career, and it is where this story begins.”
“If you learn to love the climbs and throw your hands in the air during the drops, be careful: the ride can become addictive.”
