The Kingmakers reveals the world of high-powered venture
capitalists, following them as they interview hopeful
entrepreneurs, select boards for funded companies, shepherd
companies toward an IPO, and decide which industries and what
companies to invest in. This is the first time a journalist has
been given total access to this highly guarded business for a
book-length work. It offers insight into what companies and
industries will hold the key to our economic future, as well as the
inner workings of the venture capitalists and investment bankers.
Author has access to the key players in high technology and some of
the venture capitalists profiled include Ann Winblad, Roger
McNamee, Dick Kramlich, and Andy Rappaport.
