NVCA Oral History Collection Unveiled

Collection Features 17 Venture Capital Industry Luminaries

The National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) and The Exponential Center at the Computer History Museum (CHM) are pleased to announce a new partnership to preserve and make freely accessible the NVCA Oral History Collection, a rich set of transcripts of 17 venture industry luminaries that have been compiled over the past fifteen years by NVCA. Featured in the collection are: James Blair, Peter Brooke, Mike Brooks, Peter Crisp, William Draper III, Bill Egan, Anthony Evnin, Alan Frazier, Edward Glassmeyer, Richard Kramlich, Charles Lea, Henry McCance, David Morgenthaler, Alan Patricof, James Swartz, Ambassador Walter Curley, and Paul Wythes.

The partnership between NVCA and CHM will not only capture and share the untold stories of pioneering venture capitalists and their partnerships with disruptors and innovators that extend from idea to IPO and beyond, but they will also provide the rich context necessary for an in-depth understanding of venture’s history and impact that will hopefully inspire generations to come. NVCA and CHM will also work together to expand the Collection to include additional oral histories.

The new collection and partnership are key parts of the Exponential Center’s multi-faceted venture capital initiative.
