QUESTION: Can a cartoon cat save the world? ANSWER: It can — if the cat is one of the most downloaded apps of all time, made by a tiny company that grew into a Unicorn — by founders that wanted to protect Earth before it’s too late.
Talking cats? Saving the planet? Unicorns? Don’t be fooled. This is not a science fiction book — this is a business book like you’ve never read before.
Based
on the true story of a tiny bootstrapped company, in the tiny country
of Slovenia, it’s world-wide success from a talking cartoon app
garnished a billion-dollar exit just seven years after founding.
How?
By daring to speak, to breathe, and to live the balance between the
feminine energy of passion, joy and conscious creation and the
traditionally masculine, formulaic energy of the tech scene. This unique
blend between the founders Iza Sia and Samo Login is alive on every
page.
Follow along, play-by-play, with the team
dynamic and dialogue as if you had a seat at the table — from the first
night where the team committed to each other in the back table of a
local pub, to the extravagant celebrations of record-breaking success,
to the heart-pounding moments of crushing news in the boardroom and
high-pressure negotiations.
Through
it all, purpose-driven mission and conscious leadership were essential
to inspire a group of propeller heads to achieve the impossible.
The
founders had a dream so big, they broke the traditional rules of
business, especially those of the tech scene. It follows that 7 Unicorn Drive, therefore, is not your typical business manual.
FACTUAL. It’s based on a true story, not theory or conjecture.
The
proof that bootstrapping a unicorn in just 7 years is possible. Proof
that putting purpose first, works. Proof that bringing the heart into
the workplace is a necessary trait for leaders to role model. Proof that
a small, dedicated team can create exponential results. Proof that raw
honesty and authenticity build trust. Proof that conscious creation is
real. Proof that profit is the natural and unavoidable result from
individuals that work together with the right mindset, attitude and
commitment to purpose, passion and consciousness.
FEARLESS.
It’s not afraid to address the unseen, the unspoken and the unheard
between executives and employees: those energies that can either rot an
organization from the inside out…. or can spark inner drive and
inspiration for efficiencies like never seen before.
7 Unicorn Drive
was written to inspire others to have the courage to dream big — but
also the courage to look deep into their own lives for personal and
professional fulfillment that comes with living one’s purpose and values
— both on and off the clock.
