I’ve always loved Mario Puzo’s “The Godfather.” Then I asked myself. “What happened to them?” What if the children of mobsters like Michael Corleone actually went into legitimate business. What if one of them became a Venture Capitalist? That was the inspiration for “The Start-up” and the next book under development.
In “The Start-up,” Anthony Rizzo is a highly successful VC who wants to take advantage of the shift from desktop PCs to the iPhone, iPad and other mobile smart devices. He takes his nephew and godson Frank Moretti under his wing and teaches him how to quickly grow a start-up and sell it for $8billion.
Just as Michael Corleone could not avoid his roots, so Anthony Rizzo cannot help but to be ruthless in all that he does. If you liked John Grisham’s “The Firm” and or Mario Puzo’s “The Godfather,” you may enjoy “The Start-up.”
