Where would you recruit young-female partners for a VC firm from?

Christian Bale in Harsh Times (2005).

It's an inherently unequal game, and I'm sure luck plays some role. I don't discount some intangible skills at play - to include, yes, personal-networks and networking.

I don't understand the critique. VC is a power-law game.

Who's going to play Ames?

Yeah, some kind of nefarious activity enabling service. Someone was using this service for swating politicians.

Book alleges World Commerce Corp all over the papers, and Skorzeny was something of an agent for WCC.

World Commerce Corporation f/k/a British American Canadian Corp. S.A.
