Unicorn Focus by Igor Ryabenkiy shares a powerful lesson that many founders learn the hard way: success doesn’t come from doing more it comes from doing less, but better. Drawing from his journey as both a startup founder and an investor in multiple unicorn companies, he reveals how clarity and focus separate thriving businesses from those that quietly fade away.
