Aswath DomodaranEvidence Quote
“When I start my Valuation class... are your numbers people? Are you story people? Think about it for a moment... The VC business is a storytelling business... And the problem right now is, the story people think that the numbers people are all geeks. And the numbers people think that the story people are all crazy.”
