Publisher Description
The founder of Girls in Tech offers first-hand accounts of the realities of startup life, with the very best advice from top women entrepreneurs
You know startups are hard, but what is it like to fail, or have a falling out with your co-founder, or to go through hundreds of pitches in an effort get funded? In Tech Boss Lady, Adriana Gascoigne dives into the gritty, raw side of startups. She shares her own story – of defying Silicon Valley’s boy’s club and founding the largest organization for female entrepreneurs in the world – as well as candid true tales from more than 20 leading women in tech. The result: a no-nonsense guide for the entrepreneur, intrapreneur and Tech Boss Lady within each of us.
Gascoigne goes behind the scenes of some of Silicon Valley’s hottest brands to discuss topics like failure, funding, growth hacking, and what it’s like to be a first-time CEO. Rising entrepreneurs will find inspiration and actionable advice, and experienced tech employees will appreciate Gascoigne’s refreshingly real take on Silicon Valley: the good, the bad, the ugly, and ultimately-the hopeful.

This is the story of us-the makers and hackers and dreamers who built Silicon Valley. It’s a survival manual for the girls who lead, who challenge authority, who are made to feel ‘less than’ even while they are changing the world….I so love that Adriana wrote this, I so love her story, and I so love her voice. And, just like back in 2007 when we *needed* Adriana to start Girls in Tech, we also *needed* her to write this book. Because as women who lead, who invent, and who strive, we will only get by with a little help from our girlfriends.
