2016 has been the most interesting year. There has been ongoing changes. The changes are happening in all tiers, whether the elections or venture capitals. Donald Trump from the Republicans party, and Hillary Clinton from the Democratic party fighting for the next president of the United States, more importantly, the first chance of a female President in our history. This book is an entrepreneur journey, that goes deep into venture capital, startups and investors. Many investors fund the Democratic or Republican candidates, so there are deep interests within each party as it relates to VCs.

The art of the founder is jump any way possible, to grow. Hence this book, is documented as adventures of a founder, growth hacking venture capital, politics, music celebrities and many others. The truth is if you can convince 1% top influencers, the rest of the population follows. People are looking for the right message, hence when they see synergy, they believe. They know. The book jumps backwards, like in the movie Memento. On September 12th, 2015 1:30pm, a massive fire erupts from Cobb Mountain California, directly shooting towards Harbin Hot Springs. The books describes my devotion to the gurus. From living in Sivananda Ashram in San Francisco, California from 2012 2014, to Harbin Hot Springs from 2013 2015 and Zen Master, to the present, working with venture capital, music, politics and technology. Whether working for Harbin Hot Springs, or many other things. However, the gratitude goes to the teachers and the gurus, that gave me the opportunity to serve them.

As I was studying the tier systems within the venture capital industry, I made my realization through music with Snoop Dogg. I studied and lyrics and exploited the music industry. In that realization, I saw a multi tier system, within the music industry. I listened to Notorious B. I. G. and understood the music genius behind the music in P Diddy. Soon enough, shows like Mr Robot on USA Networks and Silicon Valley on HBO appeared. Their story mimicked me building mytweetmark, as a growth hacker and full stack developer. Growth hacking is the ability to exploit social networks from technology and look for patterns. Music industry is closely tied to the software industry. Social networks are bridging the gap, and everyone is building their social brands. There are monopolies. However, to fix the problem, we have to see it first, from a first hand experience. Pretty soon, our influence together, Snoop Dogg and P Diddy, together with some of the venture capitalists on twitter, @pmarca, Marc Andreessen, founder of Netscape. One of the first internet browsers in the mid 90s that also build web servers. The company was later purchased by AOL. @startupljackson, Dave McClure, founder of 500 Startups is another mentor, who saw, while the social hacking took place, in summer of 2015. The venture capital industry, going through it's own set of disruption, similar to music industry in 2015. Due to the Mr Robot show, wall street took a tremble, which was predicted. There was also a shooting in Virginia, mimicking the Finale of Mr Robot. The show moved forward for one week, because the scene needed to be deleted. Soon after, I saw Hillary Clinton, who I admire the most, as the most courageous woman, fighting political campaigns on Twitter. My company and I decided to support Hillary Clinton fully, and start doing growth hacking with her, which she realized immediately. Pretty soon, we were all tweeting in sync together, at different locations, but completely understanding each other's meaning. Me being the glue, between the rap artists, Snoop Dogg, P Diddy, and technology venture capitalists, Marc Andreessen and Dave McClure. Hillary Clinton, meanwhile watching all of us, as a mother and a leader. I am grateful for all my teachers, Hillary Clinton, Marc Andreessen, Dave McClure, Snoop Dogg and P Diddy. Thankful for my gurus and soulmate. Without them, I would never have this opportunity, to growth hack social media.

Learn the secrets of VC and entrepreneursIn April 2015, I spent a lot of time studying the venture capital industry. Lots of things have changed since 2010 - 2011 when lots of startups were born. Many startups were shut down. In many places, the software methodology old and the engineering teams cannot execute as venture capitalists desired. A battle takes place between VCs and CEOs. Heavy political battles where startups are destroyed because of VCs battling each other. Many lives change, as when the startups shut down, employees lives change as well. Building a startup is not as sexy as it seems. There is blood and there is sweat. But the glory is tasty. VC Disruption - A change takes place where innovation stops. The disruption helps soul search to resolve conflicts between VC and CEOs. Lots of money is available, but only for those that have real business plans and path to execution. The venture capital industry is expanding globally. There are startup accelerators everywhere. China is heavily investing in United States. This book is a tribute to Bhutto family, the true leaders of Islam and Pakistan. I had the opportunity to work with two venture capitalists who initially came to trick me into my startup mytweetmark, but I was able to play along for five weeks and worked very closely with them on twitter, twenty four hours a day. I asked all the important questions and documented them. This book contains all the answers of those questions. The questions were posted on quora and twitter websites, while I was working with the two venture capitalists. Hence, this book is for anyone that is truly passionate about learning how to build a startup, from a venture capitalist's perspective. This book is dedicated to my gurus, Brahmananda, Sivananda, Vishnudevananda, Satchidananda, Rama Krishna, Ramana Mahasri, Father Rose, Auro Bindu, St Germain, Sai Baba, my Soul-mate and guru, Yoginanda, Steve Jobs, Jimi Hendrix, Tupac, Cheiro, native american elders, Vivekananda, the Mother, and all the great teachers of the world.

A journey through consciousness and enlightenment. Leaving home, deep practices at yoga ashrams and learning vedanta. From there, moving to work with a zen master and understand cultivation. The guru shows the door, the student has to walk in. A good student builds a great teacher. Enlightenment is passed from a guru to disciple.

Building a startup is tough. There are many battles to fight. There are many things to learn. Many of us have dealt with investors so this is a great opportunity to be humble no matter how smart we are. The time is ticking. There is much to be done. At the end, we have the ability and opportunity to transform into something completely different. A startup is about solving problems. Invent an offering that has never been done before. A successful startup is a paradigm shift. Everyone benefits from the venture. The angel investors and venture capitalists closely monitor the progress. Building a product with the best execution is the end goal. The customers have to be communicated with, make them part of the execution model. Based on feedback, the application model pivots. Every change needs to be considered with revenue model. Who will pay for this service? Is it one time charge model, monthly subscription or pay per click? All these questions must be addressed as early as possible. What is the target audience? Are these casual users or business customers? The user acquisition model changes dramatically once we see the full picture. Startups test our DNA. The entrepreneur faces many mental and emotional barriers. Friends become foes. There is lots of competition. Both from our loved ones that are witnessing our growth and also business startups. In the midst of everything, you have to find the best to help you. May it be coworkers, customers or investors. You also have to meet the industry greats in person. I have met founders of both twitter and facebook in person, Mark Zuckerberg and Ev Williams. There are some great minds, investors that shape the face of many greatest startups out there to learn from. Unless we make contact with them, it's hard to determine our full potential.
