FINANCE & TECH: INSIDERS’ VIEWS – NONFICTION

With an insider perspective on the insanity of high finance and venture investing, The Money Trap: Lost Illusions Inside the Tech Bubble follows ALOK SAMA’s journey as chief dealmaker at the most influential technology investor in the world, SoftBank, alongside its iconic founder, Masayoshi Son. Ultimately a morality tale, The Money Trap reminds us that in life – and technology investing – more money isn’t always the answer.  The sole assistant to the billionaire founder of one of the most prestigious hedge funds in the world, CARRIE SUN dived headfirst into the firm’s culture. Money can solve nearly everything. But as her physical and mental health deteriorated, she began to question her choices. In Private Equity: A Memoir Sun asks what we will sacrifice to reach the top. Moderated by MARIA DERCHI RUSSO, executive director of Refresh Miami.
