Description
VC: An American History by Tom Nicholas The venture capital industry has become a defining feature of modern business in America. This history reveals how it arose from the country's long-standing identification with entrepreneurship and risk-taking. From the financing of whaling voyages to the latest Silicon Valley startups, VC is a state of mind as much as a way of doing business. It embodies an appetite for extreme financial rewards, a tolerance for failure and experimentation, and a faith in innovation to generate new wealth. Tom Nicholas's authoritative history takes us on a roller coaster of entrepreneurial successes and setbacks. The story of venture capital is one that has proven difficult to recreate elsewhere, making it a quintessentially American institution.
