Description

The Power Law: Venture Capital and the Art of Disruption by Sebastian Mallaby The world of venture capital is often shrouded in mystery, with innovations emerging from unexpected places. This is the story of the legendary venture capitalists who have funded some of the world's most successful companies, from Google to Alibaba. Drawing on unprecedented access to the most celebrated financiers, Sebastian Mallaby reveals the power law that drives this industry, where a small number of successes are offset by a large number of failures. Through a riveting blend of storytelling and analysis, Mallaby sheds light on the triumphs and disasters of the tech sector, from the birth of Apple to the infamous hubris at WeWork and Uber. He also explores the impact of venture capital on the digital economy, transforming China's landscape and making London a top destination for investment. By examining the world of venture capital, The Power Law helps us think about our own future and the role that innovation and risk-taking will play in shaping it.
