From nineteenth-century whaling to the multitude of firms pursuing entrepreneurial finance today, venture capital has been driven by the pull of low-probability but substantial financial rewards. Appreciating the history of venture capital, Tom Nicholas shows, is essential to understanding the industry's future directions and possibilities, its challenges and prospects for surmounting them, and its place in America's exceptional style of capitalism.--cProvided by publisher 0aVenture capitalzUnited StatesxHistory. 4aCapital de riesgozEstados Unidos xHistoria9378 0aEntrepreneurshipzUnited StatesxHistory. 4aEmprendimiento zEstados Unidos xHistoria9381  a7bcbccorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg  2lcccBK  001040708CSaBJBbBJBcCSd2021-04-22l0oHG 4751 N599v 2019p00000149969r2021-04-22 00:00:00t1w2021-04-22yBK
