The best business training I ever got...


"The best business training I ever got was as the president of my fraternity.  Leadership skills come from doing, not reading.... 
I had to deal with everything from litigation, to fundraising, to collecting dues, to accepting and kicking out members, to planning social events....
Doing that at age 19 was the best training I ever had." - VC Mark Suster

Something Ventured *Trailer* Venture Capital...

"Everything comes from the entrepreneurs. I tend to look for scrappy people who were not born with a silver spoon. They're also people who aren't motivated by an unhealthy desire to stick their finger up at establishments. "- VC Mark Suster



Something Ventured is a documentary film about the original venture capitalists and the companies they helped to start and grow--like Apple, Intel, Genentech, Cisco, Tandem and Atari.
