Book Preview: #1 Many politicians around the world have studied the drivers of Silicon Valley’s success, and want to replicate it in their own cities. They look at the area’s venture capital industry, which epitomizes the neoliberal essence of Silicon Valley, and its role in fostering innovation and entrepreneurship.

#2 Venture capital, which is largely funded by the public, is often presented as the solution to the lack of investment in innovation.

#3 There are at least 45 countries that have created local Silicon Valley–like venture capital markets. The spread of VC policy transcends ideological lines, as neoliberal and socialist states, liberal market economies, and left- and right-wing governments alike pursue policy actions.

#4 Despite widespread expectations of policy convergence, this study reveals that systematic diversity underpins the veneer of the convergent VC policy trend.
