"An incisive history of the venture-capital industry."
--New Yorker
--Tyler Cowen, Marginal Revolution "A detailed, fact-filled account of America's most celebrated moneymen."
--New Republic "Extremely interesting, readable, and informative...Tom Nicholas tells you most 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 "In principle, venture capital is where the ordinarily conservative, cynical domain of big money touches dreamy, long-shot enterprise. In practice, it has become the distinguishing big-business engine of our time... A] first-rate history."
--New Yorker VC tells the riveting story of how the venture capital industry arose from America's longstanding identification with entrepreneurship and risk-taking. Whether the venture is a whaling voyage setting sail from New Bedford or the latest Silicon Valley startup, VC is a state of mind as much as a way of doing business, exemplified by an appetite for seeking extreme financial rewards, a tolerance for failure and experimentation, and a faith in the promise of innovation to generate new wealth. Tom Nicholas's authoritative history takes us on a roller coaster of entrepreneurial successes and setbacks. It describes how iconic firms like Kleiner Perkins and Sequoia invested in Genentech and Apple even as it tells the larger story of VC's birth and evolution, revealing along the way why venture capital is such a quintessentially American institution--one that has proven difficult to recreate elsewhere.

Great cutter!
Color: Yellow
Great cheap cutter/nubber/holder. I keep this in my pocket at all times. I have used the nubber many times, the cutter more times than I can count, and have yet to have a problem with this.
