About the Author
Michael Gasiorek
I'm a tech & media entrepreneur, writer, and effective altruist. By day, I work on projects at the intersection of marketing, content, and cryptocurrency. By night, I organize communities like OneSalon in San Francisco; publish stories and strategies on business, technology, health, and travel to outlets like Inc and Fortune; and dive into hobbies like cooking and mixing music.
I used to be the Editor in Chief at Startup Grind, where I grew our following to 1.5m monthly viewers. Professionally, I've explored diplomacy at the UN, advertising at AOL, venture-funded entrepreneurship (in China!) with the backing of Chinaccelerator & SOS Ventures, and publishing as author of two books on doing business in Asia. I'm an advisor to IndieBio and occasionally advise startups on growth.
