Venture capital (VC) is the business of financing the new—and
making outsized profits. It grew up in Silicon Valley, backing the
most influential companies known today, including Apple and Airbnb.
It’s not the iPhone, but VC, that is Silicon Valley’s greatest
export—it’s the key ingredient of innovation, and provides the
toolkit for inventors and startup founders around the world to
become powerful, multi-billion-dollar companies. Once other
countries learned how to finance risky startups, they could unlock
their own innovative energies. And where is VC placing its bets
today? The answer is: everywhere. China. India. Israel. Brazil.
Planet VC uncovers the story of how VC went global, transforming
cities from Beijing to Bangalore into the techno-hubs of tomorrow.
Authors Terrance Philips and Jame DiBiasio follow the money to
understand how VC helped enable the rise of America’s global
competitors, and where the world of innovation is headed next. What
sectors or technologies are VCs backing in different parts of the
world? How does VC work in countries as different as China and
India? How do governments influence the funding of innovation? And
how is technology, from blockchain to the metaverse, changing the
nature of VC? By exploring these questions, through in-depth
interviews with the people who pioneered venture investing around
the world as well as with today’s industry leaders, Planet VC
provides a unique and useful framework for understanding the future
of global innovation.
