Description

“[An] incisive history of the venture-capital industry.――New Yorker“A detailed, fact-filled

account of Americaâ€s most celebrated moneymen…It provides a valuable look into their

world…Nicholas is at his best when he is charting just how reliant venture capital has been on the

government―and just how far the industry has gone to try and shape government policy in its

favor.――Avi Asher-Schapiro, New Republic“An excellent and original economic history of

venture capital.――Tyler Cowen, Marginal Revolution“Though itâ€s no secret that

Pentagon money helped Silicon Valley to develop into a technology hub, Nicholasâ€s history

sheds light on the less explored role of venture capital firms in bringing these new technologies to

civilian markets.――Jamie Martin, Bookforum“Not only an insightful study of an asset class

but a fascinating history which touches on fundamental questions of political economy. VC is

distinctive mainly because it offers such a long view of venture capitalâ€s evolution…[It] offers

many lessons for attentive readers, explaining not only the present features of the venture

landscape but also how we might address some of the widely recognized problems facing the U.S.

economy today.――Julius Krein, American Conservative“A penetrating history of the

industry…I enthusiastically recommend it.――Laurence B. Siegel, Advisor Perspectives

everything you ever wanted to know about the history of venture capital, from the financing of the

whaling industry to the present multibillion-dollar venture funds.――Arthur Rock, Arthur Rock &

Co.“VC is a captivating book that casts a historical light on the contemporary landscape of

venture capital. Nicholas brilliantly explains the surprising origins of the financial practices and

organizational structures of the VC industry we know today.――Toby E. Stuart, Haas School of

Business, University of California, Berkeley, and venture partner, Avid Park Ventures

“Ralph Waldo Emerson once called America ‘the country of tomorrow,†and

Nicholasâ€s book does a great job of showing how venture capital, a rocket fuel for

entrepreneurial risk, played a fundamental and unique role in proving Emerson right.――
