3i-Backed Insenys And The Yacht Tom Perkins' Carry Built
We dream of driving supercars, but others like superyachts, especially Silicon Valley tech venture magnates who have the wherewithal to buy them. VC Ratings' posted about the Maltese Falcon, the superyacht that belongs to Tom Perkins', a founding partner of venerable VC firm Kleiner Perkins in a post entitled What You Do With All That Carry.
Interestingly, 3i plays a part in this story - it is one of the backers of Insensys, the energy technology company charged with building the vessels high-tech masts which contribute to a bit of ecological karma.
