I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is curious about entrepreneurship. The book provides comprehensive knowledge about the venture creation process. Coming from a healthcare background, I had no prior business knowledge. However, I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book and learned so much from it. I believe that everyone can be an entrepreneur if they have the right resource, and this book is the perfect starting point.--Thy Nguyen, Doctor of Pharmacy student, School of Pharmacy, Bouve College of Health Sciences, Northeastern University This is a must-read for budding entrepreneurs. Working in healthcare, I always wanted to address significant unmet needs and inefficiencies in the industry by taking an entrepreneurial approach, but I frankly didn't know where to start. Like most students, I tried learning as much as possible about entrepreneurship through various online resources and talking to mentors. Still, I never truly felt that I was getting it (seeing the whole picture). Then I read The Hybrid-Entrepreneur, which gave me a unique bird's-eye view of the venture creation/building process and detailed the caveats to consider along the journey in an easily digestible way. So, I highly recommend this book, especially for budding entrepreneurs.--Joon Seok Lee, Doctor of Pharmacy student, School of Pharmacy, Bouve College of Health Sciences, Northeastern University
