About the Book

Innovation on Tap is the story of innovation in America told through the eyes of 25 entrepreneurs, from Eli Whitney and his cotton gin to Lin-Manuel Miranda and his Broadway smash, Hamilton. The stories, intended for new and veteran entrepreneurs alike, emphasize the variety, sweep, and impact of innovation. From insurance and baseball to smart cities and cybersecurity, entrepreneurs across three centuries gather in an imaginary barroom to discuss the essential themes of American entrepreneurship--Mechanization, Mass Production, Consumerism, Digitization, and Sustainability--while emphasizing and reemphasizing the importance of community to their success.
