About this listen

Extensive media and online coverage of the business arena, news of start-ups, mergers, and deals are familiar headlines these days. But that wasn’t always the case. The early years of venture capital were a far cry from today’s very public dealings. Alan Patricof, one of the pioneers of the venture arena, offers a behind-the-scenes look at the past 50 years of the industry. From buying stock in Apple when its market valuation was only $60 million to founding New York Magazine to investing in AOL, Audible, and more recently, Axios, his discerning approach to finding companies is almost peerless.

All of Patricof’s investments—from Xerox to Venmo—share certain qualities. Each company had sound product with wide appeal, the economics were solid, and the management team was talented and committed to seeing their visions come to fruition.

First heard of Alan on dumbmoney live, it’s great that the Arthur narrate the book and Alan has a great voice that sounds very wise. There are some incredible investment stories and personal situation that comes with it. I think it’s good to hear those as venture sounds much more than just a quantitative assessment and requires more varishth of skills and eye opening for someone like myself who is trying to learn and practice public company investments. Hope you live to 114 and share more of your wisdom!

Great book
