    pter O ha n C e An Historic Overview of Venture Capitalism • Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. —George Santayana Why is an historical overview of VC important? Because history does in fact repeat itself, and a study of history allows us to frame an ­understanding of the present and the future. The playersCOPYRIGHTED and the investment climate MATERIAL change, but the entrepreneur’s innate instinct to risk capital for a return is no different today from what it was when John D. Rockefeller became America’s first billionaire in 1900. When Andrew c01.indd 1 10-12-2013 8:50:11 [2] The Little Book of Venture Capital Investing Carnegie joined forces with his childhood friend, Henry Phipps, to form Carnegie Steel in 1892, they were driven by the same conviction to improve the status quo as are the idealistic dream chasers of the twenty-first century. It was these early trailblazers who paved the way and developed the techniques that have laid the foundation for VC as we know it today. Arguably, historians will debate the nature of history and its usefulness. This includes using the discipline as a way of providing perspective on the problems and opportu- nities of the present. I believe it to be an important tool in providing a systematic account and window to the future. It is patently dishonest and irresponsible to perpetuate the popular mythology that those who created great wealth in America are to be despised and that there are no useful les- sons to be learned from an objective, historical review of their contributions to the subject at hand.

  • Oral History of Jay Last
    Oral History of Jay Last Interviewed by: Craig Addison Recorded: September 15, 2007 Beverly Hills, California CHM Reference number: X4158.2008 © 2007 Computer History Museum Oral History of Jay Last Craig Addison: Jay, could you start off by talking about where you were brought up and your education experience? Jay Last: Sure, I was born in Western Pennsylvania and went to school there in a small steel mill town. My father worked in the steel mill there and I was born in 1929 -- the week the stock market crashed -- and so in my first decade steel was a pretty tough industry to be involved with from my father’s point-of- view. So my first 10 years were the Depression and after that there was five years of war so by the time I was 15 I realized I had seen nothing but depressions and wars. I got a good high school education in this small town and then went to the University of Rochester and got a Bachelor’s degree in optics and had a very heavy physics training there also which gave me the background, then, to go on to MIT and get a doctorate in solid state physics. Solid state physics was a relatively new field then. All of the technical developments from the 1930s and the things happening in the war just had this vast amount of physical phenomenon that were available for use in various commercial products and improving whatever we were doing. So my timing was just perfect. I got an education in solid state physics…so I knew the background of the transistor field.

As an early leader in the development of semiconductors, he helped usher in the computer revolution. His keen interest in design and form led him to collect African art, becoming part of the first generation of Westerners to devote serious attention to the continent’s visual art traditions. In academic settings, science and art tend to dwell in separate departments, and often in different schools. But, says Last, “I don’t separate the two in my mind.” He reflected on their convergence in a memoir, African Art and Silicon Chips: A Life in Science and Art (Sierra Vista Books), published in 2015.

It’s the 27th of February, 2006. I brought you here together to address a few questions I feel we cannot address this evening at the public panel, either because they’re too discursive given the time constraints or too technical for that general audience. <camera pans over panel> So let me begin by asking you each to tell me how you were recruited by William Shockley to work at Shockley Semiconductor Lab or Shockley Transistor Corporation, starting in the order of time, Jay Last. Jay Last: I was working at MIT, finishing my doctoral thesis and was using a Beckman Instruments spectrophotometer in order to do my work. This was an instrument that was a little beyond Beckman’s capabilities, so I worked with the Beckman people making it workable. So by the time I got my degree, a lot of people in Beckman knew me. And Arnold Beckman, when he signed his agreement with Shockley in about September of 1955, told Bill Shockley about me, and Shockley flew up to Boston to MIT to talk to me. So I was extremely impressed with him, and had a couple more talks with him. After that, I came to work for him.

    Report to the Computer History Museum on the Information Technology Corporate Histories Project Semiconductor Sector Fairchild Semiconductor Company Details Name: Fairchild Semiconductor Sector: Semiconductor Sector Description . THIS SITE WAS ESTABLISHED TO COLLECT AND PRESENT INFORMATION AND STORIES RELATED TO FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR AS PART OF THE OCTOBER 2007 CELEBRATION OF THE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FOUNDING OF THE COMPANY. IF YOU HAVE ANY CORRECTIONS OR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO CONTRIBUTE PLEASE CONTACT THE FACILITATORS LISTED BELOW. Overview Founded in 1957 in a building now designated as California Historical Landmark # 1000 in Palo Alto, California by eight young engineers and scientists from Shockley Semiconductor Laboratories, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation pioneered new products and technologies together with an entrepreneurial style and manufacturing and marketing techniques that reshaped Silicon Valley and the world-wide industry. The Planar process invented in 1959 revolutionized the production of semiconductor devices and enables the manufacture of today's billion transistor microprocessor and memory chips. Funded by and later acquired as a division of Fairchild Camera and Instrument Corporation of Syosset, New York, Fairchild was the first manufacturer to introduce high-frequency silicon transistors and practical monolithic integrated circuits to the market. At the peak of its influence in the mid-1960s, the division was one of the world’s largest producers of silicon transistors and controlled over 30 percent of the market for ICs. Director of Research and Development, Gordon Moore observed in 1965 that device complexity was increasing at a consistent rate and predicted that this would continue into the future. “Moore’s Law,” as it became known, created a yardstick against which companies have measured their technology progress for over 40 years.

  • Harry Sello SEMI Oral History Interview; 2004-04-02
    Oral History of Harry Sello Interviewed by: Craig Addison Recorded: April 2, 2004 © 2012 Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI) CHM Reference number: X6196.2011 Oral History of Harry Sello Craig Addison: Thank you very much for joining us, Harry. Firstly, could you talk about your period at Shockley Labs; what was your job there and what the working atmosphere was like, for example? Harry Sello: That was, of course, my introduction to the semiconductor industry as it existed at that time. William Shockley hired me in 1957, which was shortly after he had won the Nobel Prize for the discovery of the junction transistor. And I don’t know quite the circumstances by which he found me in detail; my best guess is that he talked to people in a related industry, chemistry. I was in chemistry at the time, still am a physical chemist. But he did locate me and he asked me to come to the Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory, SSL then, in Mountain View, California, in early 1957 for an interview. The interview itself was colorful; I had never undergone such an interview. He spoke to me about my work and told me a little about his work. Mostly he asked questions, and I came back for a second interview over a weekend, and this was a very interesting one because it was a series of psychological tests. He said if I didn’t mind, would I submit to psychological testing; he wanted to see my feelings, [and that] I shouldn’t feel bent out of shape because he himself had taken these psychological tests.
