About Joe Sipher
Joe Sipher started his career helping two nascent startups grow into multi-billion-dollar public companies (Palm and Handspring). Next, he founded two profitable mobile app companies that generated over 200M downloads.

This remarkable transformation spawned his book Outsmart the Learning Curve.
