eBoys
The First Inside Account of Venture Capitalists at Work
An embedded look at Benchmark's partners during the dot-com boom.
Randall Stross spent time inside Benchmark Capital, chronicling the partners who backed eBay, Webvan, and other startups during the internet boom. The book follows their real-time decisions, triumphs, and missteps with fly-on-the-wall detail. It captures both the exhilaration and the hubris of late-1990s venture investing.
Founders see how venture partners actually deliberate, disagree, and gamble on companies in real time, lessons that hold even decades later. The dot-com setting is also a cautionary tale about euphoria and discipline.
