The First Venture Capitalist

Edited by Udayan Gupta

9.28" x 6.28"
240 pages






Hardcover
ISBN-1-896209-93-9 - $34.95 CAD


General Doriot created the first institutional venture capital fund in 1946 and set a standard for VC forever. Harvard Business School professor, war strategist and founder of INSEAD, one of Europe's most respected business schools, Doriot brilliantly articulated views on business formation, entrepreneurship, development and the dynamism of capital.
 
Review By Robert McCabe:
 
George Doriot was a remarkable individual who achieved success as a teacher, a businessman, and a general in the US Army. Some of his students at the Harvard Business School kept their notes from his course in their desk drawer throughout their business careers. Even if they did not go that far, they never forgot the man or his teachings; nor did the employees of the many companies which he launched as the president of American Research & Development Corporation. This is the first book about George Doriot, and it is a perfect first book: it is in the form of a source book, drawing from the many facets of Doriot's career as seen by many different people, and sometimes in Doriot's own words. All the texts are interesting and highly readable.
