Book description
The Finnish private equity pioneer CapMan has developed and expanded companies and steered them into international waters for a quarter of a century, through boom to recession and back again. Along the way there have been brilliant decisions and not-so-inspired moves, visionary entrepreneurs and dodgy businessmen, strokes of pure luck and unforeseen setbacks - and many, many white-knuckle moments that the dry press releases choose to ignore. CapMan opened its files to author Marko Erola. Into the Drivers Seat Stories About Entrepreneurs and CapMan emerged on the basis of collected investment memos, exit proposals, and personal interviews. The book is an exceptionally honest and candid description of what really happened inside Finndomo, Tokmanni, Mehiläinen, and many other Finnish, Nordic, and Russian companies when the venture capitalists came in and rolled up their sleeves.

Audiobook immersion without fuss – this app's ease of use is commendable. Sharing audiobooks through AirDrop is a fun and convenient way to share the magic of storytelling with friends and family, sparking meaningful discussions. A middle-of-the-road audiobook that neither impressed nor disappointed. The narrator's voice was agreeable enough for extended listening, though their character differentiation could have been stronger. The production met basic industry standards without any standout qualities. An acceptable audiobook that met basic expectations. No complaints about quality but nothing remarkable either. Would listen to this narrator again but wouldn't seek them out.
