Mike Serbinis - Why More Startups are Saying Goodbye to Foosball Tables and Hello to Meditation Rooms

Michael Serbinis is a serial tech entrepreneur who first found success as an early innovator in the internet and cloud storage space. There, he rubbed elbows with now-iconic names like Bill Gates and Elon Musk. He’s helped to build, launch, and sell multiple businesses including docSpace, Zip2, and Kobo with over $1B in exits.
