From the inner sanctum of Silicon Valley and short-term capitalism comes the story of a VC who lived it, then left it and found a better way to build great companies.
Another Way by Dave Whorton offers a powerful alternative to Silicon Valley?s high-growth, profit-last mindset. A former partner at Kleiner Perkins, Whorton witnessed the rise of the “get-big-fast” model but ultimately rejected its unsustainable values. Instead, he pursued a more meaningful path?founding and supporting ?Evergreen? companies that prioritize long-term purpose, profitability, people, and enduring impact over short-term gains. Blending his personal journey with the practical Evergreen 7Ps framework, Whorton shows how businesses can thrive by focusing on stability, integrity, and values-driven leadership. Filled with real-world examples, this book is a refreshing blueprint for entrepreneurs seeking a more sustainable and fulfilling way to build companies?and practice capitalism at its best.
