My question is what company did Sorkin launch that gives him the credibility to sit in judgment of market-proven entrepreneurs?

As for him being a elitist, I have no doubt. To meet a true gentleman you might look for someone from the South, or maybe Colorado.

It was a high-risk investment.

I have read some excerpts from the book and Sorkin seems to be a good story teller, but I was surprised by his apparent lack of understanding of bond market basics and that his editors let these slip through. However it is his bad elevator/coat check manners drop him off my A list.
