Advance Praise for Innovation Capital:Marc Benioff, Chairman and co-CEO, Salesforce--"Innovation Capital shines a unique spotlight on a fundamental building block for achieving success in any entrepreneurial endeavor--cultivating a network of amazing mentors, advocates, and benefactors to help turn your ideas into reality."Shantanu Narayen, Chairman and CEO, Adobe--"There's an adage in business that 'the best idea wins.' In truth, it's often the idea with the best champion--someone who can instill belief, rally support, and paint a vision for turning ideas into reality--that wins. Innovation Capital provides a fantastic blueprint for becoming an effective champion of ideas. It's full of valuable lessons from the companies and innovators who have lived them."Tina Seelig, Professor of the Practice, Department of Management Science and Engineering, Stanford University; author, Creativity Rules--"This is an important book that should be read by anyone who aspires to lead an innovative organization. It clearly demystifies that path to gaining support for bold new ideas that will ultimately be game-changing."Ralph Hamers, CEO, ING Group--"Innovation Capital is that special currency that can be exchanged for true transformation. It's what elevates great inventors into great innovation leaders. This book is a must-read for anyone leading their team through an innovation-inspired change and for startup innovators trying to make a success of their ideas."Indra Nooyi, former Chairman and CEO, PepsiCo--"In this book, Jeff, Nathan, and Curtis present a compelling case for how leaders at every level can build and grow their innovation capital to turn new and creative ideas into reality. Whether you're just launching your career or you're an industry veteran, this is a must-read."
