About

Wayne Kimmel—entrepreneur, venture capitalist, philanthropist, and tireless networker—is now the author of Six Degrees of Wayne Kimmel.

Kimmel wasn't always a venture capitalist, investing in game-changing companies alongside the likes of Richard Branson, Steve Case and Mark Cuban.

He was once a 29-year-old law school graduate with no connections who obsessively networked his way to success. In his new book, Kimmel shares the practical secrets to his success while providing intimate glimpses behind the scenes of nail-biting, high-stakes business deals. Six Degrees of Wayne Kimmel is more than an entertaining read; it's also a roadmap to success.
