MicroCapClub Interview with David Thomson Author of Blueprint To A Billion
I wrote a book review on Blueprint to a Billion a few weeks ago. The book goes into detail analyzing the fastest growing companies since 1980, in particular those companies that reached $1 billion in revenues the quickest. Of the 7,454 companies that have gone public since 1980, 25% have failed (no longer trade), and only 5% (387 companies) have made it to $1 billion in revenues. These 387 companies are called Blueprint Companies. Thomson interviewed hundreds of upper level management teams that are/or were part of these top 5% companies to see what set their businesses apart from the rest. I really enjoyed Blueprint to a Billion because if I know what commonalities are present in successful companies it can give an investor an edge in investing in earlier stage companies like micro caps.
