Steady growth after bootstrapping Broadcom with no venture capital, find out how he did it. Here's Henry Samueli, co-founder, CTO and Chairman of the Board; another in a series of founding entrepreneurs who have grown with their companies. How has he grown with the company? In many ways of course, but especially as chief visionary.
Henry is who Bruce Hallett turned to when he first thought of starting Miramar Venture Partners.
Henry has given back to the community, over $200 million through his foundation and naming gifts to both the UCIrvine Henry Samueli School of Engineering and the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science. He's a huge contributor to the southland; he's my 100th guest.
