How To Become The Greatest Venture Capitalist: Lessons From The Masters

Venture capital is a highly competitive field that takes a lot of skill, knowledge, and dedication to succeed.

In his book, “How to Invest: Masters on the Craft,” David Rubenstein interviewed some of the world’s leading investors and asked them to share practical lessons about what it takes to pursue a successful career in investing and build firms that endure over the long term. The list is long and distinguished, including Larry Fink (Blackrock), Seth Klarman (Baupost), Ray Dalio (Bridgewater), Jim Simmons (Renaissance), Marc Andreessen (Andreessen Horowitz), Michael Moritz (Sequoia Capital), and David Blood (Generation) – and of course David himself is the founder of the venerable private equity firm Carlyle.
