About The Author

Teresa Esser spent her time at MIT studying Brain & Cognitive Science and Creative Writing. She graduated with a single bachelor's degree and two different areas of expertise.

While the scientists and engineers on campus struggled to turn their ideas into world-changing corporations, Teresa Esser studied their personal habits in an attempt to discover the source of their vast power.

Esser's first work of nonfiction, titled The Venture Café: Secrets, Strategies, and Stories from America's High-Tech Entrepreneurs, contains anecdotes and advice from more than 150 entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, executive headhunters, corporate lawyers, and engineers.

The Venture Café is a highly readable (and often extremely funny) introduction to the individuals who will drive tomorrow's most influential corporations.
