Boris Wertz
Boris Wertz started as an entrepreneur in 1999 founding the German company Just Books. This company was later purchased by Amazon.com in 2008 (a company Wertz couldn't compete with). which spurred Wertz to make the transition from entrepreneur to investor. He has now been an investor for approximately seven years, and is on the board for the firm Andreessen Howitz based in Silicon Valley. He is "not the best known venture capitalist in the world," as the venture capitalist scene is difficult to enter. He's been publicly recognized for his entrepreneurial achievements.
