About the Book
What’s it really like for the average woman to start a technology company?
Lea A. Ellermeier reveals her journey into the entrepreneurial world and offers captivating insights.
In business, it’s not where you start, it’s where you finish. And when you start from rock bottom, it’s tough climbing up a mountain where women have been proven to be good for tech company performance, but their odds of finding success are long.
Finding the Exit is more than a robust business memoir – it’s a courageous tale of a woman who, against harrowing odds that began in childhood, successfully started and sold a medtech company to a Fortune 100 in less than five years. Along the way, she offers a candid take on her journey that includes highs, lows, and everything in between – from the unexpected death of her entrepreneur father, dropping out of high school, alcohol addiction as a teenager to a failed marriage, single parenthood, and sexism in the business world.
Lea recounts her experiences with candor and razor-sharp intrepidness. Standing splendidly in the intersection of two genres – business memoir and gritty personal tell-all – Finding the Exit delivers empowering messages for working women of all backgrounds, ages, and walks of life.
