Book excerpt: The entrepreneurial organization founder is of primary interest in the context o f the restructuring of a company to public status (the public offering process). The presence and characteristics of the entrepreneur/founder are hypothesized t o add observable and measurable value to the firm when that person serves in a t op management position and is a feature taken into account by potential investor s or venture capitalists in the firm, along with characteristics of the board. In an effort to study the impact of demand determinants on venture capital invol vement and notably the top management team/founder characteristics, we examined 215 Initial Public Offerings in the US healthcare market and we were specificall y concerned to draw relationships between venture capital involvement, board ind ependence and founder/ entrepreneur characteristics and whether VC backed IPOs a re more likely to have experienced founders and more independent board from one side or more likely to have less entrenched founders and more independent boards from another side. The latter was done through descriptive statistics of the sample and subsamples involving venture and non-venture backed sections, as well as univariate and mul tivariate analyses which are described in the herein study.
