Entrepreneur, CEO & Tech Visionary
on a Mission to Empower Startups

Launching my startup in 1997 represented the triumph of faith over reason. Mo Ahmed’s book would have helped me maintain my faith and boost my reason as I navigated the ensuing turbulent journey full of failures and successes large and small. Through his first rate storytelling of rich personal experiences and a wealth of industry anecdotes, Mo Ahmed provisions the reader with much-needed mental and emotional tools. The “The Inside-Out Entrepreneur” is a book designed, not to reduce uncertainty, but to build the mental and emotional muscles needed to face it and leverage it.
