Georges Doriot & DEC

ADVERTISEMENTS

I just started reading Creative Capital: George Doriot and the Birth of Venture Capital, on new biography by Spencer E. Ante. When I first took an interest in venture capital, I read a fair amount about American Research and Development (ARD), the firm that Doriot made famous. In the Introduction, Ante retells the story of ARD's landmark investment in Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). Have you ever seen the numbers?

No wonder Doriot inspired imitators.
