This book describes Whale Rock’s journey from an emerging fund to an established $7 billion Boston-based multi-strategy hedge fund focused on public and private technology investments. Featuring hundreds of photographs, infographics, timelines, charts, graphs, and maps, the book introduces and celebrates the culture, investment philosophy, history and key influences that have guided the firm for more than 18 years. The book is designed to introduce new team members, families and LPs to the firm.

Graham Schelter, my creative partner, helped me through the long process of transforming my ideas and rough outline into a book. His understanding of the subject matter and ability to follow my thought process and his incredible organizational, copywriting, editing and design skills were immensely valuable.
