Without the love and support of Bridget Pringle, my precious wife and nurturepreneur, I simply would have not built my business or career. In fact, I owe my life to my wife, literally. The book is dedicated to you, Bridget, and our two beautiful daughters our very own Parisian, Isabel Buckland, and our sassy Stella Buckland. I adore you guys. You are my meaning and my everything. I would also like to thank my dad, Andrew, my mom, Janet, and my two brothers, Luke and Daniel. I could not have faced these challenges without you. Lastly a big thanks to my outlaws the special Rod and Elaine Pringle, who dashed between a farm near George and Cape Town on a regular basis.
I n 2010 I left the corporate world to start my own business. It would be a digital company built around the new economy, with the internet and social media wave sweeping the world. Five years later I sold the business to a worldwide, UK-listed corporate called M&C Saatchi. My company grew quickly, employing 70+ full-time, shared and contracted people by the time I exited it. After eight years I left that company entirely in order to start something new, but I would also face a new battle the fight of my life.
This book is a raw account of the struggles and trials involved in building a startup, incorporating my experiences of working in the internet industry for some major companies before making my eventual move into entrepreneurship.
In it are stories, business insights and life lessons denoted b y a different font I learned along the way. The appendixes include a series of articles about startups and entrepreneurship; a complete overview of South Africas startup ecosystem; and a list of funders in the country that are actively investing in startups, originally published by Ventureburn. I hope you find this book interesting and useful as you pursue your own dreams.
