| Sumario: | "Today's venture industry is the Economy's engine of innovation, providing the financial fuel and guidance that help fledgling companies reach their potential. But who conceived this crucial industry? It was Paris-born Georges Doriot. In Creative Capital, Spencer Ante is the first to tell the story of this influential and charismaric man." "With firsthand access to Doriot's papers, family records, and classified government documents, Ante shows how Doriot craved both risk and opportunity throughout his unique life." "Ante brings to life the visionary who overturned conventional wisdom by proving that there's big money to be made by investing in small and risky business. This vivid portrait of Georges Doriot reveals the rewards that come from relentlessly pursuing what-if possibilities. And it shows how Doriot's way of doing business still remains with us, offering valuable lessons for today's entrepreneurs, managers, and investors."--Solapa anterior. |
