In 2009, a small independent video game studio in Finland was on the brink of bankruptcy. It employed eighteen young people, none of whom had any previous corporate experience. By the time their 52nd mobile game, Angry Birds, comes around, it is make-or-break time for the company....

Filled with exclusive stories and insider tips, The Slingshot Formula serves as the maverick playbook of what-to-do and what-not-to-do when navigating fast lane success in the rapidity of the digital era.
