“A visionary roadmap for people who believe they can change the world—and invaluable advice about bringing together the partners and technologies to help them do it.” —President Bill Clinton
A radical, how-to guide for using exponential technologies, moonshot thinking, and crowd-powered tools, Bold unfolds in three parts. Part One focuses on the exponential technologies that are disrupting today’s Fortune 500 companies and enabling upstart entrepreneurs to go from “I’ve got an idea” to “I run a billion-dollar company” far faster than ever before. The authors provide exceptional insight into the power of 3D printing, artificial intelligence, robotics, networks and sensors, and synthetic biology. Part Two draws on insights from billionaires such as Larry Page, Elon Musk, Richard Branson, and Jeff Bezos and reveals their entrepreneurial secrets. Finally, Bold closes with a look at the best practices that allow anyone to leverage today’s hyper-connected crowd like never before. Here, the authors teach how to design and use incentive competitions, launch million-dollar crowdfunding campaigns to tap into tens of billions of dollars of capital, and finally how to build communities—armies of exponentially enabled individuals willing and able to help today’s entrepreneurs make their boldest dreams come true.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The future is now and we need to figure out how to take advantage of it, say coauthors Diamandis, CEO of educational nonprofit X Prize, and journalist Kotler in this cogent, energetic follow-up to their previous collaboration, Abundance. Here, they introduce readers to the concept of exponential technology, which applies to any field "doubling in power on a regular basis" and currently includes robotics, genomics, and nanotechnology. The book aims to help entrepreneurs, activists, and leaders proceed quickly from idea to execution, all while bettering the world. Notably, it's not just big companies pushing all of these changes; there are also small ones involved, such as Airbnb. As such, more and more people have been able to innovate. The authors run through the mental adjustment required for this increased rate of change, the practical considerations involved in staging and scaling goals, and the process of building communities that can reach them. This invigorating discussion drives home the point that with better tools than we've ever had before, what we need most of all are great leaders.
