ABOUT AUTHOR
DEEPTI IS
Moonshot Thinker & Ally for Entrepreneurs
In her multiple roles as Innovation and Leadership Coach to C-suites and Entrepreneurs; Executive Education Coach at Stanford GSB LEAD; Founding Partner, LISA (Stanford GSB Lead Incubator & Startup Accelerator); Advisor for DayOne MedTech Accelerator; and Jury & Mentor at Masschallenge, she helps to define and refine big innovation ideas and visions.
Deepti’s cross-industry experience includes Former Chief Innovation Officer (Health-tech startup, Silicon valley), working on Pandemic Technologies with MIT Media Labs Spinoff, and heading Product & Brand Strategy with Global Lifestyle Brands.
Deepti stands in awe of the brilliance of hundreds of founders she meets, yet dismayed by their self-limiting actions and beliefs, inability to effectively communicate their story or rally in support from potential partners & investors.
Vowing to make a difference, she sparks ambition within founders with social-science-backed strategies for success.
Every venture capitalist looks for strong founders to invest in, but what makes a successful founder is open for debate. Investors have a tough job of looking for brilliant entrepreneurs when their success is not yet clear and they often tend to look for patterns that would predict their success.
My mission in writing this book is to inspire you to take ownership of your path to success and invest in research-backed behaviors and true drivers of a founder’s excellence that cluster around their own unique traits (or superpowers.)
