Description
The Power Law: Venture Capital and the Making of the New Future by Sebastian Mallaby A gripping fly-on-the-wall story of the rise of a unique and important industry, based on extensive interviews with some of the most successful venture capitalists. This book reveals the strategies and fates of Silicon Valley's dominant venture-capital firms, and how their successes and failures have shaped the path of innovation and the global economy. The venture-capital game is driven by a power law, where most attempts at discovery fail, but a few succeed at a scale that makes up for everything else. This book explores the extreme ratio of success and failure that drives the VC business, and its impact on the wider tech sector and the world. Innovations rarely come from experts, and the future cannot be predicted, only discovered. This book is a rare and unsettling look inside a subculture of unparalleled influence, offering a unique perspective on the forces that shape our economy and our world.
