As counsel to the Senate Intelligence Committee, Keith Raffel held a top secret clearance to watch over CIA activities. As a Silicon Valley entrepreneur, he founded UpShot Corporation, the award-winning Internet software company, and sold it to Siebel Systems. He has also been a carpenter, college writing instructor, candidate for elective office, and professional gambler. These days he stays busy writing his mysteries and thrillers in Palo Alto, California. His latest book was the national bestseller, Smasher: A Silicon Valley Thriller.

    Early in July I met Keith Raffel at Thrillerfest, which is a convention for thriller writers and their readers. Keith is a veteran of Silicon Valley and the author of Smasher and Dot Dead. He agreed to blog on Acrimoney, talk about his books and pull back the veil of venture capital. I think you’ll enjoy Keith’s insights, not to mention the anecdote that gives rise to the title of this post. BTW, after you read Keith’s post, you will understand why Acrimoney is looking for $50 million in seed capital.
