Aytekin Tank accidentally started his first business when he wrote a piece of open-source software and it became quite successful. For a few years he worked on it early mornings, evenings, and weekends while working his full-time job – which he eventually walked away from.

• The value of of setting yearly strategic goals

Now, let's hack ...
