Frank Quattrone, from a humble background in South Philly, became the dominant IPO king of the 1990s Silicon Valley boom, aggressively taking to market hundreds of successful (Amazon, Cisco) and not-so-successful (Corvis, 3DO) tech companies. The companies he championed changed the way we live, and he became the larger-than-life personification of the tech bubble. When it burst, so did the famously prickly and combative Quattrone's fortunes, leading to two highly publicized obstruction of justice trials, and a conviction that was later overturned. Now Quattrone is back, advising Google and other companies. This book tells the gripping story of his rise, fall, and return, from hosting elaborate client events to the establishment of the Friends of Frank accounts that would come to haunt him during grueling cross-examination. After the Bubble chronicles the clash of Wall Street and Silicon Valley cultures that led to the bubble, its popping, and the rise of Silicon Valley 2.0. Its lessons resonate in today's post-bubble economy.
