All incredible entrepreneurs have some fundamental traits in common!

They are full of energy, industrious and patient, and display qualities such as perseverance and resilience. On top of these, they share some important traits that, as an investor, one should look for while backing an early-stage start-up founder. These traits include ambition, the need to prove, the need for speed, vision, the ability to manage stress and focus on winning. This book takes readers into the fascinating mind of the 'mega founder' and decodes how they think, work and successfully navigate the complex world of start-ups. The Tightrope to the Moon unequivocally articulates that the journey of a start-up to a billion-dollar company is largely the outcome of the founder's resolve and ability to achieve success against countless odds.
