A Forest Tale: A Startup Fable (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781491719985)

A Forest Tale tells the story of an ambitious eagle named Bill and his plans to change life in the Forest forever with the creation of the "Forest Wide Web".

He teams up with a co-worker, Mary the Crow, and a client, Thomas the Bear, and sets out to make his mark in the Forest. From raising investment capital for his startup and hiring the team, to working with lawyers and boards of directors, A Forest Tale is filled with the ins and outs of turning a business dream into full-blown reality. Bill quickly learns that the task of creation is much more difficult than he'd imagined. Meeting and balancing the daily demands from friends and family and co-workers and investors seems impossible. As Bill struggles to fulfill his growing list of commitments and to do it all, his inspiring vision blurs and the joy of creation turns to despair. Can he possibly recover after so many wrong turns? Bill the Eagle's story is a startup fable that entertainingly shares the growing pains of entrepreneurship. A Forest Tale will keep you smiling, make your heart heavy at times, but ultimately give you hope that anything is possible. www.aforestale.com @aftale
