The Power Law

Venture Capital and the Making of the New Future
Book • 2022
In 'The Power Law', Sebastian Mallaby provides a riveting and meticulously researched account of the venture capital industry.

The book delves into the history of tech incubation in Silicon Valley and worldwide, featuring key figures from firms like Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, Accel, Benchmark, and Andreessen Horowitz.

It covers iconic successes and failures, such as the birth of Apple and the rise and fall of WeWork and Uber.

Mallaby also examines the 'power law' that drives the VC business, where a few massive successes compensate for numerous failures.

The book highlights the industry's influence on innovation, its biases, and the rising competition from China's venture capital sector.
