Making Moonshots
About this book
In Making Moonshots, investor and operator Rahul Rana asks the question: Why should we live in a world of incremental scientific and technological progress when the human race has proven in past eras that we are capable of so much more?
The world faces major problems. It is time for conventional thinkers to stand aside and give way to the crazy ones, the contrarians, the radically creative geniuses who work outside the box to create massive breakthroughs. In what is both a prescription for building successful deeptech startups and a call to arms to generate highly moral, deeply influential solutions that will positively affect the lives of billions, this book will teach you:
- The mindsets and philosophies of the greatest trailblazers of the past and present.
- Actionable strategies fueled by moonshot thinking.
- The complex ecosystem and all of its necessary moving parts for creating environments conducive to deeptech business operations.
- A tangible and reasonable course for entrepreneurs that will result in sustainable profitability and extraordinary global-changing results.
Rana predicts a new golden age is about to erupt in modern times. Dare to dream bigger. Let's make some moonshots.
