Startupland: How Three Guys Risked Everything To Turn An Idea Into A Global Business – This the story of what it really means to risk everything and go for broke. As Mikkel Svane reveals in Startupland, the story of founding Zendesk was anything but conventional. With revealing stories both funny and frank, Mikkel shares how he and his friends bravely left secure jobs to start something on their own, how he almost went broke several times, how they picked up themselves and their families to travel across the world to California and the unknown.
