Sand Hill Road


Connecting El Camino Real and Interstate 280, Sand Hill Road is a road in Menlo Park, California, notable for the concentration of venture capital companies there.
Its significance as a symbol of private equity in the United States may be compared to that of Wall Street in the stock market.

Venture Capital - my pet subject thesedays!
