		Pointing to a large biz school-style report card on the overhead screen, Doerr gave himself high marks for his performance as a venture capitalist, for his relationships with family and friends (though he said he wished he had adopted his two children 10 years sooner), and for his recent involvement in public policy initiatives.

	How John Doerr, the old prospector, finally struck Google \| CNET News.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In 1999, Doerr, on behalf of his firm, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, invested $12.5 million for a stake in Google that will probably be worth at least $3 billion--perhaps more--after Google sells stock to public investors this year.
