History

The founders are former entertainment industry managers. That was the moment when they realized that the next rock stars were likely to be tech stars, which made them starting a new company.
In September 2020 Solomon and Blumberg published the book Game Changer. How to Be 10x in the Talent Economy. The book is about how to attract, retain and manage top talents especially in the tech field.
