“When it comes to success, two things are important; to be lucky and to not mistake being lucky for being smart.” Learn from a Silicon Valley legend! This week, I talked with Avram Miller - author of “The Flight of a Wild Duck” and co-founder of Intel Capital. Not only was Avram managing a multi billion dollar portfolio at the most successful corporate venture group in the field of technology - Intel Capital, but he has played an integral hand in the development of today’s internet by creating high speed residential broadband. Aside from his career, we dive into what shaped this legend by looking into his childhood and early years, as well as the incredible front-row seat Avram had in the budding world of modern technology.
