Acknowledgments
In preparation of this book, some of the world's leading venture practitioners offered their wisdom and insights. Their names are sprinkled all over this book. Without their participation, support, encouragement, threats, and sometimes the much-needed kick-in-the-rear, this would have remained just another idea. A mere acknowledgement, then, seems inappropriate. Deep gratitude would be more like it. And of course, while all the great ideas and insights are theirs, any mistakes are mine.
After the first edition was released, I was humbled with the positive responses that came from readers across the United States, Europe, and Asia. Thank you to those who took the effort to share your feedback and reviews.
Finally, the world of venture capital would be bereft of its glory, but for the entrepreneurial force. I bow deeply to that force, because it all starts with those “crazy ones” who believe they can change the world.
