Publisher's Synopsis
Charles Ota Heller has been an entrepreneur and mentor to entrepreneurs for over 40 years. Heller is a Holocaust survivor who arrived in the US as a penniless 13-year-old, speaking only two words of English. With strength, persistence, and determination, he went on to earn an athletic scholarship to college and obtain three degrees in engineering. He became an academic at the cutting edge of new computer technology and was bitten by the entrepreneurial bug. Over the next 20 years as CEO of technology companies and an additional 20 year as an investor, Charlie experienced the joys, successes, failures, and terrors of entrepreneurship. When the FBI attempted to shut down his company on a trumped-up charge, memories of World War II and the Gestapo filled him with the terror of uncertainty. Ready, Fire, Aim is the story of his riveting journey, told as a powerful, candid, engrossing adventure that only entertains but also provides valuable takeaways for present and budding entrepreneurs.
