Doriot Venture Education Labs Information

General Georges Doriot is widely recognized as the "Father of Venture Capital.” As the first VC, Doriot achieved a 22% IRR over a 25-year period - still the benchmark for venture success. In his later years, General Doriot was quoted as saying: “People who do well in life understand things that other people don’t understand”. This observation directly applies to the world of venture. Much like a game of Texas Hold'em, venture appears to be straightforward and welcoming to anyone with an innovative idea or access to money. However, short of luck, 80% of players end up paying the "fool's tax" while the top 20% rake in above market returns. And like Hold'em, if you can't identify the fool in a venture deal, it's you. Thus, Doriot Venture Labs was launched to serve those who want to be in the top 20% of venture knowledge, where success is ultimately measured by what really matters: returns.
