		Subject: Eugene Kleiner (1923-2003) Eugene Kleiner, pioneer of Silicon Valley venture capitalism, principal of Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield and Byers, died on November 20th, aged 80 Kleiner, an electrical engineer, was the prime mover in founding Fairchild Semiconductor, where the first commercially successful integrated circuits were developed, based on Jean Hoerni's silicon planar process.

		The breed was still rare, and even rarer in the guise Mr Kleiner had in mind: a ÒtechnologistÓ who was involved and got his hands dirty, as well as simply writing cheques.
