Free pizza and screening of "Something Ventured," a great
documentary especially if you're interested in
entrepreneurship!
Monday, May 9th
Rocky 3: 7 pm-9pm
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------
Sit back, eat pizza, and enjoy a screening of "Something
Ventured." Doors will open at 6:45.
SOMETHING VENTURED tells the story of the creation of an
industry that went on to become the single greatest engine
of innovation and economic growth in the 20th century. It
is told by the visionary risk-takers who dared to make it
happen: Tom Perkins, Don Valentine, Arthur Rock, Dick
Kramlich and others. The film also includes finest
entrepreneurs sharing how they worked with these venture
capitalists to grow world-class companies like Intel,
Apple, Cisco, Atari, Genentech, Tandem and others.
Beginning in the late 1950's, this small group of high
rollers fostered a one-of-a-kind business culture that
encouraged extraordinary risk and made possible
unprecedented rewards. They laid the groundwork for
America's start-up economy, providing not just the working
capital but the guidance to allow seedling companies to
reach their full potential. Our lives would be
dramatically different without the contributions that
these venture capitalists made to the creation of PCs, the
Internet and life-saving drugs.
