The Venture Capital Visionary Who Never Saw Red Lights

When Alan Patricof raised his first $2.5 million venture fund in 1969, the concept of venture capital barely existed. Six decades later, his investments read like a history of American innovation: Apple, AOL, Office Depot, The Huffington Post, and hundreds more. Even at 86, when most would be enjoying retirement, Patricof launched Primetime Partners with a $50 million fund focused on aging and wellness. His remarkable journey embodies a philosophy of seeing "no red lights" when pursuing exciting opportunities - a mindset that transformed him from a Wall Street trainee into one of the most influential venture capitalists in history. His story isn't just about wealth creation but about recognizing potential before others and having the courage to bet on it.
