    Doctoral Dissertation: The Journey towards a Growing Diffusion of Entrepreneurship Learning and Culture in Society Written by: Mirta Michilli Role DETAILS Author Name: Mirta Michilli, PhD Year: 2019 Title: The Journey towards a Growing Diffusion of Entrepreneurship Learning and Culture in Society Document type: Doctoral dissertation Institution: The International School of Management (ISM) URL: https://ism.edu/images/ismdocs/dissertations/michilli-phd- dissertation-2019.pdf International School of Management Ph.D. Program The Journey towards a Growing Diffusion of Entrepreneurship Learning and Culture in Society PhD Dissertation PhD candidate: Mirta Michilli 21st December 2019 Acknowledgments I wish to dedicate this work to Prof. Tullio De Mauro who many years ago believed in me and gave me the permission to add this challenge to the many I face every day as General Director of Fondazione Mondo Digitale. The effort I have sustained for many years has been first of all for myself, to satisfy my desire to learn and improve all the time, but it has also been for my fifteen year old son Rodrigo, who is building his life and to whom I wish the power of remaining always curious, hungry for knowledge, and capable of working hard and sacrificing for his dreams. I could have not been able to reach this doctorate without the support of my family: my mother, for having being present all the time I needed to be away, my sister, for showing me how to undertake continuous learning challenges and, above all, my beloved husband to whom I owe most of what I know and for dreaming with me endlessly.

  • Venture Capital Report
    Venture Capital Report China | 1 Q | 2018 VENTURE CAPITAL REPORT VENTURE CAPITAL REPORT The following report presents Dow Jones VentureSource’s quarterly findings for Chinese venture capital fundraising, investment, valuation, and liquidity. The included charts and graphs offer a comprehensive view of the trends currently affecting the venture capital market. Highlights for 1Q 2018 include: • China venture capital fundraising increased in both amount raised and the number of funds; • Amount flowed into venture backed Chinese companies increased, although the deal number dropped; • Amount raised through mergers and acquisitions (M&As) declined; while capital raised via initial public offerings (IPOs) climbed. VENTURE CAPITAL REPORT 2 GROWTH EQUITY Starting this quarter, we are reporting on Growth Equity. VentureSource has always tracked this space, but until now they were excluded from the quarterly statistics. Please note that Growth deals will be included in the Later Stage category, a subsection of Venture Capital Investment. We define Growth Equity as a minority stake investment in privately owned, mature companies that meet the following criteria: • No prior equity investment within the first 3 years of business operations; and • A proven business model -- generating revenue or profitable; and • No VC-type round series is used by the company to label the transaction; and • At least one institutional investor participated in the deal. We recently reviewed our entire database to ensure that all companies and transactions are classified consistent with the above criteria. As a result of this review, we re-characterized thousands of historical deals from VC to Growth, or from Growth to VC. As with our Venture Capital statistics, we exclude companies formed for the sole purpose of acquiring other companies, properties, natural resources, or interests.

  • The-Business-Of-Venture-Capital-1
    The Business of Venture Capital By Jeff Weinstein November 5th, 2020 What is Venture Capital? • A subset of private equity (investing in private companies for a piece of ownership) financing. • Typically (but not exclusively) focused on early-stage high risk, young technology companies since those companies often have the highest growth potential. • Unlike PE, typically take minority stakes in companies and do not exert control. • Many of the most important companies in the U.S. (and virtually all its important tech companies) were venture-funded. History of Venture Capital • Business model began with whaling in the mid 1800s. • Unpredictable, high-risk, high-reward venture. • Returns follow a power-law distribution. Most ships would lose money, but a few were VERY profitable, making it a profitable endeavor on the whole. • Investors would collect large pots of money and diversify across multiple whaling ships to generate massive returns. • Average whaling vessel spent 3 years at sea! • Captains would be compensated by keeping a percentage of the profits. Origin of carried interest! Modern VC Structure • VCs are managed by General Partners “GPs”. • GPs typically put in 2% of the total fund as GP commit. • Typical VC fund charges “2 and 20” : 2% per year Management Fee, 20% Carried Interest • 10 year lockup + options for two 1 year extensions • 3-5 year investment period (sometimes higher fees up front that lower during “harvest period” • Capital is committed in entirety but only “called” in small tranches over first 3-5 years • Both carried interest and partnership gains are taxed as long-term capital gains (lower than ordinary incomes) History of Venture Capital • First VC “fund” in 1946 with ARD (American Research and Development) Corporation and J.H.
