Happy About announces the release of “They Made It: How Chinese, French, German, Indian, Israeli and other foreign born entrepreneurs contributed to high tech innovation in the Silicon Valley, the US and Overseas” by Angelika Blendstrup, Ph.D.

Cupertino, CA February 27, 2008 – Happy About today announced the release of “They Made It!: How Chinese, French, German, Indian, Iranian, Israeli and other foreign born entrepreneurs contributed to high tech innovation in the Silicon Valley, the US and Overseas. “ Great leaders have been the stuff of many business books over the years with authors often promising to deliver THE key ingredients that can guarantee the readers success in their own careers.

As author Angelika Blendstrup shows, there is no "secret sauce", but a number of "recipes for success" with specific ingredients that if applied, may smooth the path upward. These recipes are the result of conversations with foreign-born (as well as US) Silicon Valley/US entrepreneurs who tell it as it is. Each leader tells a unique, personal story of how s/he came to the US and ultimately made it.

If you plan to immigrate to the U.S. and establish yourself in Silicon Valley, or if you are just curious to find out what make these extraordinary individuals tick, you can listen to these foreign-born professionals and gain personal insight into the fulfillment of their ambitions and dreams.

"Immigrants from Andy Grove, to Vinod Khosla, to Sergey Brin have made Silicon Valley the extraordinary success it is today. This book provides valuable lessons learned from the successful entrepreneurs that will prove inspiring to people from every country."
Steve Westly, Founder and CEO, The Westly Group, Former California State Controller

This book is available as a paperback and also in ebook format. The paperback is priced at $24.95 and the ebook is $14.95.The book is available from Amazon and Happy About.
