Guy Kawasaki's Remarkable People

Why "Evergreen Companies" Beat Venture Capital at Its Own Game with Dave Whorton


Listen Later

What if the path to building a lasting company isn't about explosive growth and quick exits? Dave Whorton, former venture capitalist, challenges Silicon Valley's "get big fast or die" mentality in this eye-opening conversation. After witnessing the Netscape IPO transform startup culture forever, Dave discovered an alternative approach: evergreen companies built for profitability, purpose, and generational endurance. From his experience at Hewlett Packard to founding the Tugboat Institute, Dave shares why some of today's most successful businesses—from See's Candies to Enterprise Rent-A-Car—chose patience over pressure. His book "Another Way" reveals the seven principles that create companies designed to last decades, not just reach the next funding round.
