Who were venture capitalists before “venture capital” was even a term? We have all heard of Apple, Google, Cisco, Intel, and Genentech, and sometimes even the people who masterminded these companies. But what about the people who funded them, sometimes against the odds, and make their success possible? How did they manage to recognize “the next big thing” and invest money in it? What else, besides money, have they offered to people like Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, Larry Page and Sergey Brin to ensure their success and the return on their investment? This is their story.
