Synopsis
Spencer Ante provides a comprehensive study of a fascinating, if little known, giant of American business, the French-born George F. Doriot, who is often credited with inventing venture capitalism. Ante shows how Doriot used his great insights in conjunction with his military experience and university connections to embark on research and development projects around the time of the Second World War and after. A business history as well as a biography, CREATIVE CAPITAL provides the valuable context for understanding the growth of business in the 20th century, underscoring the importance of investing in and developing new ideas. An early entrepreneur, Doriot had both great theoretical insight and the practical skill for bringing new ventures to fruition and profitability.
