Everything Shane Neman needed to know about business he learned in the gritty, chaotic New York City nightclub scene. In Nightlife Lessons, Neman takes you behind the velvet ropes so you can too. With sharp insight, humor, and gratitude, the three-time startup founder and venture capitalist shows in this unlikely business book how with tenacity and ambition, you can transform any industry. In the pre-social media and camera-phone days of the new millennium and fresh off his failed first business, Neman was starting from scratch with no budget but a huge idea: bring the hopelessly outdated event promotions and hospitality world into the digital age. The result is JoonBug, which blended his passion for partying and expertise in technology to become a multimillion-dollar stepping stone to serial entrepreneurship and a grounded personal life. Nightlife Lessons is packed with perceptive lessons from his comeback, advice on how industry insiders still need to evolve, and predictions on how partiers will experience nightlife in the future. Neman’s business path is an inspirational ride through New York’s hot spots. If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere … and take it with you everywhere.
