Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Cooperation among financial institutions is a persistent feature of the equity issuance process. Also, the syndication of venture capital investments is common practice among venture capitalists. Despite the importance of syndication, surprisingly little is known on the motives and structure of syndication. Further-more, there is hardly any empirical evidence for Europe or particularly Germany on the syndication behaviour of VC organisations and the factors influencing their overall propensity to co-invest. On the one hand, the purpose of this paper is to compile and summarise all aspects of the existing theory on VC syndication. Therefore, the evidence from the few empirical studies that were so far carried out on this topic is discussed. Thus, the general theory on syndication, which is thought to be independent from peculiar VC industries, serves as the framework throughout this paper which is complemented by the results of the empirical analyses done so far by different authors. On the other hand, this text has also an explorative component where it is analysed if and to what degree findings of the existing studies also hold for the German VC market. This analysis is done by the use of a data base listing a total of 3,230 VC investments in German portfolio companies. The nature of the data base at hand is not designed to allow for conclusions on all relevant aspects of syndication. But the claim of this paper is to use and analyse it whenever it is possible and the data base can be linked to aspects on syndication discussed throughout the different chapters. Firstly, this paper gives a theoretical overview on general motives behind VC syndication which leads to a discussion which rational is more important in explaining VC syndicates and if there are differences between the North American and European VC market with regards to this. Then, as the principal part of this paper, various factors influencing the propensity of VC investors to syndicate are analysed and, whenever possible and appropriate, also reviewed based on the data base. The next part examines the process of forming and managing a syndicate, after the decision to co-invest a deal was made built upon the motives and factors of influence, and to what extent networking activities play a role in it. After this, it is discussed if syndicates enhance the firm value If the portfolio company and whether there is a difference between the value added of syndicates [...]

This book was released on 2009 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines venture capitalists' preferences for syndication partners. Do venture capital firms prefer partners that are similar to or different from them? How do venture capitalists' preferences for partners affect the performance of the syndicated investments? Will the choice of syndication partners have any impact on the venture capital firms themselves? Heterogeneity among syndication partners may increase transaction costs, but offers syndication partners valuable learning opportunities in the long run, suggesting a tradeoff between the short-term costs versus long-term benefits. Using data on U.S. venture capital investments, this paper shows that venture capital firms are less likely to syndicate with partners who are different from them. The preferences for syndication partners, however, have different implications for the portfolio companies and the venture capital firms. Companies funded by heterogeneous syndicates are less likely to go public or be acquired by other companies. However, venture capital firms that co-invest with more heterogeneous partners are more likely to survive. The paper develops a new method for empirically examining the formation of syndication among multiple firms. It also addresses issues of endogeneity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Venture capital (VC) refers to investments provided to early-stage, innovative, and high growth start-up companies. A common characteristic of all venture capital investments is that investee companies do not have cash flows to pay interest on debt or dividends on equity. Rather, investments are made with a view towards capital gain on exit. The most sought after exit routes are an initial public offering (IPO), where a company lists on a stock exchange for the first time, and an acquisition exit (trade sale), where the company is sold in entirety to another company. However, VCs often exit their investments by secondary sales, wherein the entrepreneur retains his or her share but the VC sells to another company or investor buybacks, where the entrepreneur repurchases the VC`s interest and write-offs (liquidations). The Oxford Handbook of Venture Capital provides a comprehensive picture of all the issues dealing with the structure, governance, and performance of venture capital from a global perspective. The handbook comprises contributions from 55 authors currently based in 12 different countries.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research examines the effectiveness of governance systems in venture capital (VC)-backed technology-based new ventures that are not yet at the initial public offering stage of their life cycle. Venture capital syndicated investments introduce two types of agency issues: principal-agent between the founders and the venture capitalists, and principal-principal that is between the venture capitalists involved in the technology-based new firms. The research argues that to conduct monitoring to mitigate the additional agency risk between the venture capitalists, as well as with the founder, the board would strive to be more independent, and they could only be effective when they possessed the capabilities and resources to aid in the development of the new venture. The research considers the influence of foreign venture capitalists involved in the syndication, as they put further strain on the governance system, calling for boards to be even more independent and particularly focus on replacing the Founder-CEO with a Professional-CEO. The theoretical framework advances the understanding that boards monitor and provide resources to their new ventures to develop and be competitive. The study empirically tests an integrated model combining both the agency and resource-based views to analyze the governance mechanisms. -- The existing governance research has been conducted using data from large established IPO corporations, which introduce both 'survival bias' and 'window dressing' in the study results. The researchers have largely ignored the key role played by the syndicating venture capitalists and founders. There is a void in the literature about the appropriate composition of the board of directors, especially among technology-based ventures. The importance of venture capital syndication has grown after the 'Dot-com bubble' to mitigate the investment risk.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study, I apply resource theory andknowledge-based theory to analyze the competitive advantage of venture capital (VC) firms in emerging markets and explore how VC firms accumulate their knowledge and build networks through their investmentstrategies in such markets. Fourmechanisms for knowledge accumulation are summarized, namely, learning byjointing venture, learning by hiring, learning by doing, and learning by observing. My research has found significant differencesbetween foreign and local VC firms in their investment decision process and syndication strategy. This study has also shown that VC knowledge affects its usage of learning mechanisms and together they affect VC investment strategies in emergingmarkets. The study is especially useful for venturecapitalists in emerging markets as well as governmentpolicy makers in these countries.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine the performance effects of two knowledge-driven strategies internal knowledge development and external knowledge access through inter-firm relationships in the context of venture capital investing. Using longitudinal data on the investments, syndication, and performance of 200 US-based venture capital firms, we find that investing in industries in which a firm has more knowledge and investing with more or familiar external partners enhances investment performance. In addition, we reveal important interactions between the two strategies, such that access to external knowledge is particularly beneficial when the investment exposes gaps in the firm's own expertise. Thus, access to external knowledge is more effective when an incongruity exists between what the firm knows and what it intends to do. We discuss the study's implications for organizational knowledge and learning, strategic alliance, and venture capital literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the venture capital (VC) industry, firms often co-invest with other peers in syndicated deals. The process of syndication is a form of investment alliance that generates networks of VC firms and start-up companies. Despite the prominent role played by syndicates, extant entrepreneurship literature found contradicting evidence on the relationship between the practice of syndication and the performance of both the start-up and the investors. In fact, our understanding of the circumstances under which syndicates have the potential to boost performance, rather than hamper them, is still limited. This book intends to fill this gap and explore the performance dynamics surrounding networks in the venture capital industry. The text also provides introductory knowledge to those interested in network studies and methods.
