Four days with the World’s Greatest Entrepreneurs
What’s on the minds of the new minds?
The world’s most successful entrepreneurs play hard, but they work even harder. That much was made clear after the dust settled on f.ounders, an event that has quickly become one of technology’s premiere conferences.
