Download eBoys: The First Inside Account of Venture Capitalists at Work AudioBook Free
In eBOYS, Randall Stross takes us behind the scenes and inside the heads of the gutsy entrepreneurs who are financing the hottest businesses on the Web. The six tall men who started Benchmark, Silicon Valley's most exciting capital raising firm, put themselves at the cutting edge of the new economy by backing billion dollar start-ups like eBay and Webvan. The risks were enormous--but the rewards have proven to be staggering. Within 2 yrs, eBay's net worth grew from $20 million to more than $21 billion, whilst every Benchmark founding partner saw his own private net worth soar by vast sums of dollars.
For two roller-coaster years, Stross had total access not only to Benchmark's executives but to the firms they financed. He was a fly on the wall as fortunes were made in an instant, snap decisions got locked in, and new ventures took off--and sometimes crashed. Listed below are the testosterone-pumped conversations, round-the-clock meetings, and gutsy deals that launched the eBoys and their clients in to the stratosphere of mega-wealth. Written like a novel but absolutely true, eBOYS brings to vivid life the glory days of the best business adventure of our time.
