Bezos was an investment banker.
Before he had the track record of long term development (only born from long term efforts) he knew how to speak Wall Street and had a track record on Wall Street.
Most CEO’s will never be capitalized like him for long term empire building so it’s hard to say there couldn’t be more Amazon sized successes out there if Capital was more accessible for longer term visions.

- jsdavo 6y agoWait, I thought Bezos was a quant, not an investment banker?
- hchz 6y agoHe worked at bankers trust, but not as a banker, and then at a quant hedge fund, but not as a quant.
- smabie 6y agoBezos was never an investment banker.
