Survival of the Smartest Startups through the Lens of Evolution

Every founder talks about growth, but few prepare for survival. Survival of the Smartest unpacks the patterns behind both. Built on real experiences, failures, and turnarounds from years in the startup trenches, it shows why evolution, not ambition, is the ultimate edge in business.

Startups evolve just like species. Some adapt, others disappear. Survival of the Smartest explores why that happens and what truly separates the survivors from the rest. Drawing from 17+ years, 8 ventures, and hundreds of founders, this book decodes adaptation, resilience, and the mindset needed to build startups that last.
