Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Venture capital is a global phenomenon that simultaneously maintains strong local characteristics. It is influenced by global capital flows and trade, socioeconomic conditions, and the political environment. #2 Venture capital is the provision of capital, know-how, and hands-on involvement to entrepreneurial firms by institutional investors. It is used to accelerate entrepreneurial development and exploit opportunities in the marketplace. #3 There are several forms of venture capital that are offered to firms at different stages of development. Second stage financing is available to firms that are experiencing robust revenue growth and may even be profitable. Bridge financing is offered to entrepreneurial firms that intend to go public. #4 Venture capital is the act of investing into private firms, and it is part of a broader category of closed-end private capital. There are five different and distinct categories of private capital: private equity, private debt, real estate, infrastructure, and natural resource.
In spite of the robust development of venture capital that has occurred over the last three decades, returns from venture capital have been declining. This book focuses on a simple question: why? The answer lies in the context of multiple deformations that have occurred throughout the venture capital process.

This is especially true as corporate governance and compensation structures may create significant misalignments, incongruities, and conflicts of interest between general and limited partners.

These realities are also affecting young adults, who, in a historically unprecedented trend, are likely to be worse off than their parents. This book identifies the reason for these trends, and argues that the answer lies in the context of five key deformations that affect the family. Firstly, the family is negatively influenced by liberalism. While one form of liberalism i...
Entrepreneurial finance is a discipline that studies financial resource mobilization, resource allocation, risk moderation, optimization in financial contracting, value creation, and value monetization within the context of entrepreneurship.

This book examines how the activity of entrepreneurial finance can be enhanced via a concentration on value creation and through improved strategic decision-making. The most unique feature of the book is its focus on value creation. For entrepreneurs, value creation is not a one-off activity, but rather a continuous cycle of incremental improvements across a wide range of busin...
