The new documentary “Something Ventured” tells the story of the early, visionary venture capitalists who took chances on technology companies like Intel, Apple and Genentech — and helped make Silicon Valley the center of innovation that it is today.

Guests:

Dayna Goldfine, producer and director of "Something Ventured"

Dan Geller, producer and director of "Something Ventured"
