Part One focuses on the exponential technologies that are disrupting today's Fortune 500 companies and enabling upstart entrepreneurs to go from I've got an idea to I run a billion-dollar company far faster than ever before. The authors provide exceptional insight into the power of 3D printing, artificial intelligence, robotics, networks and sensors, and synthetic biology.

Here, the authors teach how to design and use incentive competitions, launch million-dollar crowdfunding campaigns to tap into tens of billions of dollars of capital, and finally how to build communities-armies of exponentially enabled individuals willing and able to help today's entrepreneurs make their boldest dreams come true.

I loved Peter Diamandis' and Steven Kotler's book Abundance, their writing and their Vision. BOLD is an amazing sequel, a book that every entrepreneur should read. It is inspiring, filled with incredible insights and offers a practical how-to game plan for going big and impacting the world.
Michael Dell, CEO, Dell Computers In BOLD, Diamandis and Kotler have written another dazzler. A riveting look inside the world of exponential entrepreneurship-action-packed and action-oriented. I've purchased a copy for my entire team at Cisco.
Padmasree Warrior, CTO & Chief Strategy Office, CISCO If you read one business book in the twenty-first century, this should be the one. When Peter and I cofounded Singularity University, we based it on the ideas of exponential change and `learn by doing.' This book clearly explains how to apply these concepts to change the world and overcome the age old afflictions of human civilization. -
Ray Kurzweil, inventor, author, director of engineering at Google, Chancellor of Singularity University Abundance showed us where our world can be in 20 years. BOLD is a roadmap for entrepreneurs to help us get there.
