Abstract: In addition to initial financing, venture capital (VC) firms also provide other value-added contributions. Many VC firms and their portfolio companies consider these value-added contributions the most significant contributions VC firms make. The value-added contributions have been found to be different depending on whether the VC firm is a "traditional" VC firm or "corporate" venture capital (CVC) firm. Traditional VC and CVC firms have different investment objectives and possess different areas of expertise, leading to differences in the value-added contributions provided. The differences in the value-added contributions raise the question of whether the performance of portfolio firms is affected by the type of venture capital backer. This study seeks to 1) quantify the impact of VC-affiliation on portfolio firm performance, and 2) compare the differences in performance of VC and CVC firms' portfolio companies. The paper examines the financial performance, IPO valuation, and stock performance of VC-backed, CVC-backed, and independent companies in the 3-year period following an IPO. The years 1998, 1999, and 2002 (representing the height of the tech bubble and bear market of the early 2000s recession) were chosen as the sample period. The results of the analysis indicate that VC-backed companies as a whole outperform independent companies in every aspect, confirming that the value-added contributions of VC firms help the performance of their portfolio companies. The performance of portfolio companies also differed depending on the type of their VC-backer. Traditional VC-backed portfolio companies had higher revenue growth and IPO valuations, while CVC-backed portfolio companies had higher net income growth and slightly better stock performance. Ultimately, the results confirm that VC firms improve portfolio company performance, and the impact of the VC firm's value-added contributions differs depending on the type of VC-backing.

It is generally well understood that venture capital (VC) is an important and significant source of financing for small firms. Questions revolving around the increased likelihood of a firm backed by Venture Capitalists (VCs) to be export oriented have yet to be fully explored. Responding to this research gap, a sample of Canadian VC backed firms is used to compare the performance of Canadian VC firms in terms of facilitating internationalization among their portfolio companies. The particular reference of this study is Export Development Canada (EDC), a crown corporation mandated to promote export among Canadian firms. This research finds that EDC as a VC investor and export-oriented consultant has no association with the increased probability of exporting. Also, stage of the investment does not show any relationship with internationalization. These results run contrary to previous speculation that syndication of VCs increases the probability of internationalization among portfolio firms.

This book addresses the lack of academic and practical research into corporate venturing by examining the role of this activity as both a form of large firm-small firm collaboration and as an alternative source of equity finance for small firms. These issues are explored through surveys of independent fund managers, coporate executives and technolo

We dedicate this book to John Thibaut. He was mentor and personal friend to one of us, and his work had a profound intellectual influence on both of us. We were both strongly influenced by Thibaut's insightful articulation of the importance to psychology of the concept of pro cedural justice and by his empirical work with Laurens Walker in reactions to legal institu demonstrating the role of procedural justice tions. The great importance we accord the Thibaut and Walker work is evident throughout this volume. If anyone person can be said to have created an entire field of inquiry, John Thibaut created the psychological study of procedural justice. (To honor Thibaut thus in no sense reduces our recognition of the contributions of his co-worker, Laurens Walker, in the creation of the field. We are as certain that Walker would endorse our statement as we are that Thibaut, with characteristic modesty, would demur from it. ) Even to praise Thibaut in this fashion falls short of recognizing all of his contributions to procedural justice. Not only did he initiate the psy chological study of the topic, he also built much of the intellectual foun dation upon which the study of procedural justice rests. Thibaut's work with Harold Kelley (1959; Kelley & Thibaut, 1978) created a social psy chological theory of interdependence that, among many other applica tions, serves as the basis for one of the major models of the psychology of procedural justice.

"If you look at the venture business, for an industry that funds innovation - it really doesn't have that much", declared Josh Kopelman, founding partner at First Round Capital, in 2013. Notwithstanding, observing the industry in the last decade, one can identify at least two evolutions. First, a new generation of VC firms, to which First Round Capital belongs, has emerged and is reinventing VC firms' traditional organization to offer additional services beyond investment capital and their partners' time. Second, equity crowdfunding, spearheaded by equity crowdfunding syndicates, now allows entrepreneurs to raise funds entirely online and has become an interesting alternative to traditional venture capital. This paper's first objective is to describe and evaluate the strategies embraced by these new types of value-added VC firms. The second objective is to review online syndicates' characteristics and their evolution since their inception 3 years ago. I first consider whether they can become credible competitors of VC firms and end with a few predictions regarding the space equity crowdfunding syndicates are likely to occupy. I show that the new emphasis placed on VC firms' value added services has empowered new entrants in the VC market, enabling them to break into the concentrated circle of the very few VC firms actually earning significant returns. Beyond the objective of improving their portfolio companies' operating performance, I show that VC firms embrace this strategy in order to 1) increase the size of their inbound deal flow, 2) improve the firm's brand and 3) provide General Partners with additional arguments to close competitive deals. In a second part, I argue that online syndicates could increasingly embrace the key success factors shared among successful venture capital firms. However, their lack of reputation may undermine their performance in the next venture capital cycle. I conclude that equity crowdfunding syndicates are primarily an interesting addition to the traditional early-stage industry, rather than a substitute for traditional VC firms. Lastly, I show how VC investors can take advantage of online syndicates to increase their firms' competitiveness.
