The companies chosen to be interviewed are a mix of unique worldwide ventures: European-only ventures and even a few copycats of already-proven concepts. As such, it provides a balanced view on the European scene. This mix also includes companies that started in Europe and moved to the U.S., companies who went IPO in their country of origin, companies with European venture capital backing, and companies that bootstrapped their way to success. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Foreword by \u003cstrong\u003eSaul Klein\u003c\/strong\u003e, Founder of LOVEFiLM and The Accelerator Group. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Other books in the Apress At Work Series: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCoders at Work\u003c\/em\u003e, Seibel, 978-1-4302-1948-4 \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eVenture Capitalists at Work\u003c\/em\u003e, Shah \u0026amp; Shah, 978-1-4302-3837-9 \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCIOs at Work\u003c\/em\u003e, Yourdon, 978-1-4302-3554-5 \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCTOs at Work\u003c\/em\u003e, Donaldson, Seigel, \u0026amp; Donaldson, 978-1-4302-3593-4 \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eFounders at Work\u003c\/em\u003e, Livingston, 978-1-4302-1078-8 \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eWomen Leaders at Work\u003c\/em\u003e, Ghaffari, 978-1-4302-3729-7 \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eAdvertisers at Work\u003c\/em\u003e, Tuten, 978-1-4302-3828-7 \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eGamers at Work\u003c\/em\u003e, Ramsay. 978-1-4302-3351-0 \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pedro Gairifo Santos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Apress\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.61d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781430239062\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePedro Santos is the CEO and co-founder of All-desk.com, a startup that provides a marketplace for professionals who wish to share and book temporary workspaces.
