ZERO GRAVITY Riding Venture Capital from High-Tech Start-Up to Breakout IPO

Having been written before the 2001 Internet stock crash doesn’t dampen the value of this insider’s view of what’s still possible with e-commerce companies. Harmon says Web stocks have zero gravity because they’re not weighted down with Industrial Age infrastructure like warehouses, trucks, or manufacturing facilities. Their value travels weightlessly across the world with no constraints--except the need for capital. Harmon explains how to bridge the gap between this ethereal quality of Web businesses and the concrete needs of venture capitalists to turn a profit on their money. The author’s writing is edgy enough to be entertaining and practical enough to deliver insights to the average investor or student of the equities markets.
