Helping Entrepreneurs Succeed: Randy Komisar

by Scott Edward Walker on January 3rd, 2011

To Our Clients & Friends: Welcome to our weekly series entitled “Helping Entrepreneurs Succeed.”  Each week, we post a short video clip of a successful entrepreneur, investor or business leader on a variety of topics to help entrepreneurs succeed.

This week, we present Randy Komisar, a partner at Kleiner Perkins and a very smart investor.  In this interesting, eight-minute clip (courtesy of Stanford University’s Entrepreneurship Corner from a few years back), Randy discusses the magic of Silicon Valley and its “culture of constructive failure.”  I hope you enjoy it.  Many thanks, Scott
