Praise for World Eaters “One of the most important and insightful books about venture capital I have ever read. A clear-eyed and illuminating examination of VC’s peril and possibility. Bracy's call to action to reimagine what VC can be is one we should all heed.”—Ro Khanna, Member of Congress from Silicon Valley and author of Dignity in a Digital Age ""World Eaters is a compelling account of the grift that so much of Silicon Valley VC has become, and a vision of what a more equitable and equity-enabling VC industry might look like.""—Tim O’Reilly, Founder and CEO, O'Reilly Media
