Gary Rivlin tells the story of Ron Conway, the man who has placed more
bets on Internet start-ups than anyone else in Silicon Valley. Conway is
a listener-friendly way into the realm of angel financing, where
independently wealthy investors link up with companies just as they are
being born. The Godfather of Silicon Valley takes you into this
fascinating world on the edges of the financial universe, where the pace
is frantic, the story lines are rich, and every moment is perilous.
