The “secret recent history of Silicon Valley” should sound curiously similar to Steve Blank’s “the secret history of Silicon Valley”.
My franchise that is a sequel to professor Blank’s franchise, would just focus on the street smart things that VCs did and do. #cs183doVC, would be my hashtag.

I open sourced money and the algorithm for augmenting your FICO
