Raising Venture Capital
Chapter One
Entrepreneurs and Venture Capitalists
1.1 INTRODUCTION
From early beginnings in the aftermath of World War II, and rapid expansion from the mid 1970s, the venture capital (VC) industry has evolved from an ad hoc collection of pioneering investors into a sophisticated, fast paced and highly specialised industry. During this period, venture capitalists (VCs) have provided the fuel for entrepreneurs to create a generation of companies that have changed the face of the planet. The exponential growth (and occasional dramatic decline) of the computing, communications, biotechnology and internet sectors has placed the VC industry firmly in the limelight, and subsequently under the spotlight, as volatile capital markets have taken their toll.
The question of how the VC industry works, however, remains a mystery for many novice entrepreneurs, and the dynamics of VC deals are challenging for those without first-hand experience. This book examines the fundamentals that drive the VC industry, explains how these fundamentals translate into investments, and culminates in a blow-by-blow account of how venture capital deals are structured.
Understanding the relationship between "entrepreneurs" and "venture capitalists" is at the very heart of this book, and is the key to structuring a win-win deal that creates value for both. The first step in beginning to understand this relationship is to take a look at exactly what entrepreneurs and VCs do, to examine what kind of people they are, and to establish why they need each other.
