About

Outside of Silicon Valley and the Big Apple, trillions in value have been created. Millions know the individual exits. A select few understand the mechanics and know the players. Even fewer have pieced together how it all actually happened.

We're doing that work.

What We Do

We investigate how venture markets actually formed. The capital that flowed in. The companies that emerged. The people who built something from nothing—and why it worked.

Some stories are well-known but never fully assembled. Others sit in fragments across decades, waiting for someone to connect them. A few are hiding in plain sight. Either way, we're tracking down what actually happened and why it matters today.

If you want to understand how venture markets actually formed—not the hot takes, but the full cast of characters—this is for you.

We publish when the picture is complete.
