A major exploration of venture financing, from its origins in the
whaling industry to Silicon Valley, that shows how venture capital
created an epicenter for the development of high-tech innovation.
VC tells the riveting story of how the industry arose from the
United States' long-running orientation toward entrepreneurship.
Venture capital has been driven from the start by the pull of
outsized returns through a skewed distribution of payoffs-a faith
in low-probability but substantial financial rewards that rarely
materialize. Whether the gamble is a whaling voyage setting sail
from New Bedford or the newest startup in Silicon Valley, VC is not
just a model of finance that has proven difficult to replicate in
other countries. It is a state of mind exemplified by an appetite
for risk-taking, a bold spirit of adventure, and an unbridled quest
for improbable wealth through investment in innovation. Tom
Nicholas's history of the venture capital industry offers readers a
ride on the roller coaster of setbacks and success in America's
pursuit of financial gain.
