Chapter 1 in Private Equity, 2011, pp 1-9 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This is the story of a group of post-war Germans who built from scratch an industry new to their country. None of them had any explicit ambition to do so. Private equity was at the time unheard of in Germany, and if any of this group had any inkling of the industry they were to help found, it was venture capital they were familiar with, a concept closely tied with American technology, innovation, and transformational change. But on the whole, even those who had heard of venture capital doubted it bore relevance to their lives or their country.
