Learn moreFrom the cofounder of a $40 billion software company comes an invaluable guide packed with $1 trillion worth of advice from some of the world's most successful and recognizable entrepreneurs.
Over the past twenty years, as he first worked as an early employee at Salesforce and later cofounded Okta, a publicly traded software company now valued at over $40 billion, Frederic Kerrest met hundreds of business leaders and investors in Silicon Valley and beyond. In Zero to IPO, he's collected a trove of nitty-gritty tips for each stage of a company's growth and assembled them into a clear blueprint for how to build a business. The book represents the distilled wisdom of his fellow visionaries and leaders who have collectively built over $1 trillion worth of wealth for themselves and their investors: people like Marc Andreesen and Ben Horowitz (Andreessen Horowitz), Eric Yuan (Zoom), Stewart Butterfield (Slack), Aneel Bhusri (Workday), Julia Hartz (Eventbrite), Aaron Levie (Box), Fred Luddy (ServiceNow), Melanie Perkins (Canva), Patty McCord (Netflix), Sebastien Thrun (Udacity), and dozens of other business luminaries.
Organized by topic in roughly the order that leaders will encounter them as they scale their businesses, this book is the ultimate guide to taking a company all the way from founding to IPO—and beyond.
Frederic Kerrest cofounded Okta, a publicly traded enterprise software company currently valued at over $40 billion, and serves as its executive vice chairman and chief operating officer. He cocreated and cohosts the award-winning Zero to IPO podcast, which features Silicon Valley founders, investors, and entrepreneurs who discuss their experiences building businesses. Kerrest serves on the executive advisory board of the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship and advises early-stage software companies. Prior to Okta, Kerrest worked in sales and business development at Salesforce and in venture capital at Hummer Winblad Venture Partners.
