Intro to Kai Storm Books - The Come Up!

Don't get me wrong, I troll all forms of social media I'm attached to and just like on Twitter my trolling gives me access to shiny jewels that help me and my business grow.

Anthony GramugliaPublished 7 years ago in JournalHow to Outline Your Startup Business Model With Lean Canvas
Startups fall under that branch of business that, if successful, bring the biggest money.
