Venture Capital Investing (September 29, 2004) - We only know a few people that wanted to be venture capital mavens when they grew up. Begun by Andrew Carnegie in the middle of the 19th Century, Venture Capital Investing is an unusual discipline in the financial world. Focused on a ten to fifteen year horizon line, the VC process involves nurturing a business and its executives from a good idea to a big business. The very essence of the investment process involves a commitment to a long time relationship between investor and company. No intelligent deal is ever struck during the first round of funding that doesn't include provisions for follow-on infusions of cash. There are a number of good books on the subject. While the great ones cost several hundred dollars apiece, we've become extremely fond of Fundamentals of Venture Capital by Joseph w. Bartlett. The process of venture investing is, in reality, a form of for profit research and development. Since business must continually innovate, venture funding is the key dimension in the ongoing evolution of markets and technologies. Along with money, investors add expertise and involvement to help a small idea mature into a big one. Any competent investor understands that the development of a real business requires a patterned flow of investment and not a "one shot deal". - John Sumser Take a quick look at Industry News, read the Bugler.Talent is what matters most.
