    About this ebook

    U is for Unicorn: The ABCs of Silicon Valley is a game-changing alphabet book about the lingo of the tech industry.

    From Angel Investor to Napping Pod to Zero-Emissions Vehicle, this witty book explores the world of the San Francisco Bay Area one letter at a time.

    Featuring buzzwords like Cryptocurrency, Hoodies, Rest and Vest, Moonshots, and more, these are the ABCs and ideas that innovators—from infants to Xennials—need to onboard now.

    • Pairs funny, knowing illustration with rhyming verse for each crucial concept
    • Follows a team of five talented employees (and one scrappy and resourceful raccoon)
    • Explores Silicon Valley culture letter-by-letter

    Disruptors of all ages can Pivot to next-gen success as they scale their learning and crush it to become the thought leaders of tomorrow.

    U is for Unicorn proves that Silicon Valley is rooted not just in a place, but in a state of mind anywhere Java (code and coffee) is flowing.
