Join what is certain to be a great discussion of the book Start-Up Nation, by Dan Senor and Saul Singer. In this modern classic, Dan Senor and Saul Singer look at the reasons behind Israel's emergence as an entrepreneurial powerhouse. Israel produces more startup companies than Japan, China, India, Korea, Canada and the UK. It is a fascinating look at modern Israeli culture that is particularly relevant for those of us in Silicon Valley.
