Written by Mike Evans, the innovator behind GrubHub, Hangry spells out real-world tips for building a startup. As the saying goes, the school of hard knocks is the best way to learn. But you can skip some of the jostling by learning from Evans’ lessons. Who knows? You might just end up unleashing a unicorn with your next brilliant idea."—Forbes

"Evans exposes the trials and tribulations of starting a business as an entrepreneur with a heart, impressive writing chops, and a talent for narration." —Library Journal

"In one of the truest portrayals of startup life I've ever read, Hangry lays out the painful-but-true story of the founding of GrubHub.  But unlike most self-aggrandizing and chest-pounding entrepreneurial memoirs, company founder Mike Evans is brutally honest about how it really went down; the uncertainty, the disappointments, and his continuous struggle to keep a growing company true to its original vision.  But it is more than just a business book—it's a personal journey as well. Hangry is right up there with ShoeDog for being one of the most honest and vulnerable depictions of what really goes into building a business."—Marc Randolph, co-founder of Netflix and author of That Will Never Work

“Mike Evans changed the way we eat dinner, and in Hangry, he shows us that it’s possible to transform a passion into a massive success. Mike’s riveting story shares the exciting highs and brutal lows of building a company from scratch.  This is one of the most enjoyable and informative business books I’ve ever read.”—Ryan Serhant, star of Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing New York and National Bestselling author of Sell It Like Serhant
