The cofounder of America Online and the presidential ambassador for global entrepreneurship shares a road map to success for future innovators. Steve Circumstance was on the leading edge of the web trend when he cofounded AOL in 1991. He was an entrepreneur in a small business that hadn't even come to exist, yet he saw how significantly his attempts could change not only America but the world. In The Third Influx, Circumstance uses his insights garnered from practically four ages of working as an innovator, investor, and businessperson to chart a way for future visionaries. From his position as an investor in start-ups like Zipcar and LivingSocial, Circumstance predicts the continuing future of the overall economy and explains what he calling the "Third Influx of the web". AOL and other companies introduced early on consumers to the web in the first wave; search giants such as Google and companies such as Apple have led us into the second wave, the app overall economy; and the 3rd wave will be "the web of things", where every experience, product, and service will be transacted online. Using his own experience and examples from companies he's invested in, he lays out a vision for the future of success in a disrupted age group.
