Alan J. Patricof founded Patricof & Co. Ventures in [[New York City]] in 1969 and was later chairman of its successor, Apax Partners, Inc. He received a bachelor's degree in finance from [[Ohio State University]] and an MBA from the [[Columbia University]] Graduate School of Business. By early 2002 he was a director of [[Boston Properties]] (from June 23, 1997), CoreComm Limited, Johnny Rockets Group and [[NTL]], a trustee of the Columbia business school and of Continuum Health Partners, a member of the New York administrative committee of [[Fleet National Bank]], and a member of the [[Council on Foreign Relations]].[^1]
### INSLAW
The firm, named Allen Patricof and Associates in the report of special counsel [[Nicholas J. Bua]], managed [[53rd Street Ventures]], which about 1982 made a 100,000-dollar investment in [[INSLAW]] through [[Jonathan Ben Cnaan]], an Israeli-born employee who ran the funds from 1981 to 1987. [[Patricia Cloherty]] worked at the firm from about 1970 to 1977 and again from February 1988; in between, her firm with [[Daniel Tessler]] took over the 53rd Street fund in 1984, and the Tesslers' dealings with [[Bill Hamilton]] that December became the subject of his affidavit. Bua found no wrongdoing by the Patricof firm.[^2] See [[Patricof and Company]].
