Entrepreneurs drive the future, and the last several decades have
been a thrilling ride of astounding, far-reaching innovation.
Behind this transformative progress are the venture capitalists,
who are at once the investors, coaches, and allies of the
entrepreneurs. William H. Draper III knows this story firsthand
because as a venture capitalist he helped write it. For more than
40 years, Bill Draper has worked with top entrepreneurs in fabled
Silicon Valley, where today's vision is made into tomorrow's
reality. The Startup Game is the first up-close look at how the
relationship between venture capitalists and entrepreneurs is
critical to enhancing the success of any economy. From a venture
capitalist who saw the potential of Skype, Hotmail, OpenTable, and
many other companies comes firsthand stories of success. In these
pages, Draper explores how to evaluate innovative ideas and the
entrepreneurs behind those ideas, and he shares lessons from Yahoo,
Zappos, Baidu, Tesla Motors, Activision, Measurex, and more. Also,
in revealing his on-the-ground account of how Deng Xiaoping brought
China roaring into the modern world and how Manmohan Singh unlocked
the creative genius of Indian entrepreneurs, Draper stresses the
essential value of farsighted political leadership in creating
opportunity. Lastly, the author discusses his efforts to bring the
best practices of the venture capitalist/entrepreneur partnership
to the social sector. Written in an engaging narrative and
incorporating many of the author's personal experiences, this book
provides a much-needed look at how the world of venture capital and
entrepreneurship works.
