Eat, Drink, Breathe… Like a Start-Up

RALEIGH, N.C., Aug. 24 — In the 24/7 world of a Web 2.0
startup, a “real” life can seem as distant a dream as a “Second Life” might
have a few years ago. A group of young entrepreneurs from San Jose, CA is
trying to change that with their book Eat Drink Breathe Like a Start-Up.

Published on Lulu.com (http://www.lulu.com), the top Alexa-ranked
self-publishing Web site, Eat Drink Breathe Like a Start-Up is a fun and
practical guide to eating, drinking and living well during the emotional
roller coaster that is a startup company. With easy, inexpensive recipes
like the “All Hail Caesar! (Salad)” and “No Chedda Bruschetta,” drink tips
and anecdotes about how to manage stress, this unusual lifestyle/cookbook
was created by the founders of bzzybee.com (http://www.bzzybee.com), a
web-application startup. Eat Drink Breathe Like a Start-Up is drawing
attention from sites such as Wired.com, SiliconValleyWatch,com, Digg.com,
the San Jose Mercury News: Inside Silicon Valley Podcast, The Santa Cruz
Sentinal and Textra Podcast.
“Just as new developments on the Internet have provided a platform for
our startup, it has also made this book possible,” says Lisa Hansen, CMO of
Bzzybee. “There is no way that we would have had the time, energy or
resources to jump through the hoops of traditional publishers for our
cookbook while we were running a startup company. Lulu literally made
publishing the book possible in every way for us and provided a way for us
to share the tips and lessons we’ve learned with the world.”
While the book is based on the experience of starting and running a
company with a very tight budget, Eat Drink Breathe Like a Start-Up is
really for anyone, from business executives to college students to
grandmothers, interested in inexpensive recipes and tips on how to manage
stress and can be purchased at http://www.lulu.com/content/1019008.
