A Practical Way to Get Rich . . . and Die Trying by John Roa
At the age of twenty-six, John Roa founded AKTA, a Chicago-based tech-consulting and design firm that became one of the fastest-growing companies in America, which he sold in 2015 for a fortune to the largest tech company in San Francisco, Salesforce. His account of his rise from a self-described below-average student, to becoming a poster boy for the ambitious, successful young entrepreneur, to nearly destroying himself in the process is the foundation for a campaign of honesty and vulnerability in an industry that currently allows neither.
John Roa is an entrepreneur, technologist, humanitarian, and angel investor. He has run multiple technology companies, including the design agency ü¾†Œ¼KTA, which he sold to Salesforce in 2015. He is a passionate volunteer activist and animal advocate, having been a partner and donor to dozens of nonprofit organizations as well as having founded and previously run the charitable organization, Digital Hope. He hosts The John Roa Show podcast series and is a public speaker on topics ranging from entrepreneurship to mental health. John currently lives in Manhattan.
