Resumen del Editor

Silicon Valley meets Indiana Jones.

Chasing Black Unicorns is an autobiography written by Marek Zmyslowski, one of Poland’s most respected internet entrepreneurs. Witty and humorous, the book covers many dramatic and often dangerous events.

Before moving to Nigeria to set up the "Amazon of Africa", Zmyslowski worked for one of Poland’s biggest financial services companies and is the founder of many online ventures in Central Europe.

While establishing the first online network of funeral services in Poland, he had to overcome challenges from criminal gangs running the market sector. His businesses in Nigeria have also made him enemies - powerful individuals who have corrupted police and government officials to stand against him.

Overnight, Marek became an international fugitive and was put on the most wanted list by Interpol, an organization with a history of being manipulated by corrupt regimes. Zmyslowski describes this and many other events, putting them in the context of African history and cultures, a continent he is now deeply in love with.

Average

Very Average. Jokes not funny. Author Irritating. The cover is ugly. Didn’t read it though.

Not Your Typical Entrepreneurial Journey

If you are looking for a book on the adventures of being an entrepreneur that's going to take you on a wild ride beyond your imagination and provide you tons of insights into the world of doing business and living in Nigeria, entering emerging markets, and navigating the African Continent - this is the book for you or get the audiobook version which is how I heard Marek's insane story.

This is absolutely not your typical book about the entrepreneurial journey.

I didn't expect to learn so much from the book or find myself at the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. Marek is absolutely raw and honest about who he is or was at the start of his endeavors and he is a character you find yourself having mixed emotions about!! This book highlights his personal growth through the challenges, hardships, and insanity of being an entrepreneur while providing a lot of wisdom.

This isn't a Silicon startup story. It's SO MUCH MORE!

Jason Bourne meets Steve Jobs

The biography was more of an adventure with truths and insights thrown in. I enjoyed it and the narration was pleasant to listen to.

A captivating read on business in Africa

For anyone building a business, this fascinating book ‘Chasing Black Unicorns’ offers a true reflection on business in Africa and more particularly the eye-opening way business was conducted in Nigeria building Jumia Travel. Following his journey from running an online funeral service in Poland to building Africa’s equivalent of Amazon.com, Marek details his extraordinary journey building his life as an internet entrepreneur. I was captivated from the first page and it was well worth the read!
