FLAPCOPY The Inside Story of the Venture Capital World as Told
by the Industry''s Elite Players
Arguably today''s hottest industry, venture capital is a
dynamic engine of wealth creation that has contributed both to
America''s soaring economy and to its undisputed technological
dominance. Yet, in spite of the significant media attention the

"Until a few years ago," notes journalist-consultant Udayan
Gupta, "venture capitalists were hardly on anyone''s radar screen."
That''s not the case these days, as financiers who used to work
behind the scenes now regularly set markets afire with their public
support of high-profile technology and Internet stocks. In Done
Deals, Gupta allows 35 of the brightest stars in what has become a
$30-billion-a-year business to tell their own stories in their own
words. We get to see exactly what they were thinking when they
backed such endeavors as Intel, eBay, Excite, Genentech, and 3Com.
Gupta''s intention is to demonstrate how the industry has changed
over the past half-century and how it differs today among its
various forms. He achieves this beautifully by dividing the
first-person accounts into thematically attuned sections that focus
on dealmakers of the future such as Mitch Kapor of Accel
Partners, early pioneers including the late Benno Schmidt of J.H.
Whitney Co., West Coast veterans such as Don Valentine of
Sequoia Capital, past and present East Coast practitioners like
Charles Waite of Greylock Management, and visionaries including
John Doerr of Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers. Some of the
stories are more detailed than others, but taken together, they
provide a well-rounded view that will interest anyone who must deal
with this often intertwined yet still individual world. --Howard
