Kaplan, a well-known figure in the computer industry, founded GO
Corporation in 1987, and for several years it was one of the
hottest new ventures in the Valley. Startup tells the story of
Kaplan's wild ride: how he assembled a brilliant but fractious team
of engineers, software designers, and investors; pioneered the
emerging market for hand-held computers operated with a pen instead
of a keyboard; and careened from crisis to crisis without ever
losing his passion for a revolutionary idea. Along the way, Kaplan
vividly recreates his encounters with eccentric employees,
risk-addicted venture capitalists, and industry giants such as Bill
Gates, John Sculley, and Mitchell Kapor. And no one - including
Kaplan himself - is spared his sharp wit and observant eye.
