Description
Doree Shafrir has a $600 million dollar idea. Her mindfulness app, TakeOff, is already the hottest thing in tech, and she's about to launch a new, improved version she hopes will turn her brainchild into a $1 billion dollar business--in startup parlance, an elusive unicorn. Katya Pasternack is hungry for a scoop that will drive traffic. An ambitious young journalist at a gossipy tech blog, Katya knows that she needs more than just another PR friendly puff piece to make her the go-to byline for industry news. Sabrina Choe Blum just wants to stay afloat. The exhausted mother of two and failed creative writer is trying to escape from her credit card debt and an inattentive husband--also Katya's boss.
