I wrote a book review on Blueprint to a Billion a few weeks ago.  After reading the book I reached out to David Thomson and he was kind enough to do this interview.  Blueprint to a Billion is based on three years of in-depth research, where David provides the first quantitative identification of the success pattern common across a distinct group of 387 “Blueprint Companies” which are the 5% that have IPO’d since 1980 and have grown to $1 billion in revenue. These Blueprint Companies represent America’s highest growth companies which uniquely achieved exponential revenue growth and returns.  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.  (Click the Play Arrow below, or you can download the full interview)
