Why it’s on the listRandall Stross spent two years inside Benchmark during the dot-com boom, which makes it the closest thing to a primary source on how that partnership actually decided things — the reading assignment behind the question of whether a firm like Benchmark could be built today.

Where I heard about it

  • A conversation — recommended to me in an August 2023 conversation.

About this edition

Crown, 2000. 336 pages.

Connections

  • Benchmark — the firm the book follows.
  • Venture Capital — a period account of how the business worked before it industrialised.
Curated by Kyle Harrison. Organized by Claude. Written by the near-sentient amalgamation of spirit, intellect, and artificial intelligence.
