Recommendation

As improbable as it seems now, there was a time in the recent past when Silicon Valley’s visionary venture capitalists lacked the foresight to invest in China and India. In this robust analysis of the globalization of the venture capital industry, Terrance Philips and Jame DiBiasio run through the history of VC and the sector’s successes, foibles and adventures. The authors take readers on an enlightening around-the-world tour of where VC has gained new ground, particularly in places like Taiwan, Israel and Japan.

Take-Aways

  • Venture capital is expanding around the world.
  • VC is based on a high-risk, high-reward mind-set.
  • Israel has transformed itself into a VC success story.
