Notes de l'éditeur
- Picture this. You’re an entrepreneur and are attending an emerging technology conference in a swanky hotel. At the end of the day, you decide to change clothes before going out for the night.

Just as the doors begin to close, you hear a voice shout out, “Hold the door, please.” You swing your notepad between the closing doors and, as they bounce back, through the door bounds a 40-something man who just happens to be one of the country’s top Venture Capitalists.
