In my novel Zillionaire the hero, Steven Hudson, takes great pride in seeing his name over his firm’s door, and I certainly feel the same way. Probably superstar venture capitalists John Doerr, Ray Lane, and the others should now have their names there with Brook’s, and the originals should be dropped, as Eugene is now deceased and Frank and I have emeritus status. The younger guys haven’t wanted to do this as the KPC & B brand is so strong, they believe that the name shouldn’t be changed. It’s flattering to me, but if we do change names one day, I’ll continue to trust that the partnership will carry on as before with the same kind of thinking, ethics, and (hopefully) results as when I was running the place, so many, many years before. My contribution is not to one particular venture or another but I think, rather, to the way we do things. Maybe someday that will be called the “Perkins way.”
