Fall in Love with the Problem, Not the Solution, Updated Edition: A Handbook for Entrepreneurs

Unicorns--companies that reach a valuation of more than ＄1 billion--are rare. Uri Levine has built two.
And in Fall in Love with the Problem, Not the Solution, he shows you just how he did it.

As the cofounder of Waze--the world’s leading commuting and navigation app with more than 700 million users to date, and which Google acquired in 2013 for ＄1.15 billion--Levine is committed to spreading entrepreneurial thinking so that other founders, managers, and employees in the tech space can build their own highly valued companies.
