    EARLY DRAFT - NASAWATCH.COM/SPACEREF.COM Preface Patrick Besha, Editor Alexander MacDonald, Editor In the next decade, NASA will seek to expand humanity’s presence in space beyond the International Space Station in low-Earth orbit to a new habitation platform orbiting the moon. By the late 2020’s, astronauts will live and work far deeper in space than ever before. The push to cis-lunar orbit is part of a stepping-stone approach to extend our reach to Mars and beyond. This decision to explore ever farther destinations is a familiar pattern in the history of American space exploration. Another major pattern with historical precedent is the transition from public sector exploration to private sector commercialization. After the government has developed and demonstrated a capability in space, whether it be space-based communications or remote sensing, the private sector has realized its market potential. As new companies establish a presence, the government withdraws from the market. In 2015, we are once again at a critical stage in the development of space. The most successful long-term human habitation in space, orbiting the Earth continuously since 1998, is the International Space Station. Currently at the apex of its capabilities and the pinnacle of state-of-the-art space systems, it was developed through the investments and labors of over a dozen nations and is regularly re-supplied by cargo delivery services. Its occupants include six astronauts and numerous other organisms from Earth’s ecosystems from bacteria to plants to rats. Research is conducted on the spacecraft from hundreds of organizations worldwide ranging from academic institutions to large industrial companies and from high-tech start-ups to high-school science classes.

  • Mutual Funds As Venture Capitalists? Evidence from Unicorns1
    Mutual Funds as Venture Capitalists? Evidence from Unicorns1 Sergey Chernenko Josh Lerner Yao Zeng Purdue University Harvard University University of Washington and NBER December 2018 Abstract Using novel contract-level data, we study open-end mutual funds investing in unicorns—highly valued, privately held start-ups—and their association with corporate governance provisions. Larger funds and those with more stable funding are more likely to invest in unicorns. Both mutual fund participation and the mutual fund share of the financing round are strongly correlated with the round’s contractual provisions. Compared to venture capital groups, mutual funds are underrepresented on boards of directors, suggesting less direct monitoring. However, rounds with mutual fund participation have stronger redemption and IPO-related rights, consistent with mutual funds’ liquidity needs and vulnerability to down-valuation IPOs. 1 We thank Francesca Cornelli, Slava Fos, Jesse Fried, Will Gornall, Jarrad Harford, Michelle Lowry, William Mann, John Morley, Ramana Nanda, Clemens Sialm, Morten Sorensen, Ilya Strebulaev, Xiaoyun Yu, and conference and seminar participants at the 2017 LBS Private Equity Symposium, the 2018 NYU/Penn Conference on Law and Finance, the 2017 Southern California Private Equity Conference, the 2018 Stanford Financing of Innovation Summit, the 2018 UNC Private Capital Spring Research Symposium, and the 2018 Western Finance Association meetings.

  • Interview with Alfred Lin from Zappos
    Interview with Alfred Lin from Zappos Adrian Bye: Today, I am talking with Alfred. Alfred is the COO of Zappos and we’re going to have, I think, an interesting conversation with Alfred. There’re a couple of topics I’d like to talk with him about. Alfred, thanks for joining us. Alfred Lin: No problem. Thank you. Thanks for having me. Adrian Bye: You want to tell us a little bit about who you are, your background and where you come from? Alfred Lin: Sure. I’m Alfred Lin. I’m currently COO of Zappos.com. We are one of the largest if not the largest retailer of shoes, handbags and apparel on the internet. We really think of ourselves as first and foremost a service company and then a service company that just happens to sell these products. My background – I was born in Taiwan, raised mostly in New York City, went off to college in the Boston Area and came out of the Bay Area for graduate school and then over time, got sucked into a bunch of internet companies. I first met our CEO, Tony Hsieh in college. He was running a pizza business in our dormitory. I used to go down to his pizzeria and basically buy lots of pies, take it upstairs and sold it off by the slice. That’s how we met. After we left college, he came out to the Bay Area and started Link Exchange. I joined about a year after. Seventeen months later after I joined, we sold the company to Microsoft for $265 million and then after that, we raised a small fund from friends and family of Link Exchange, and started investing in a bunch of internet start‐ups.

  • Do Interest Rates Affect VC Fundraising and Investments?
    Do Interest Rates Affect VC Fundraising and Investments? CRISTIANO BELLAVITIS1 and NATALIA MATANOVA2 Abstract We examine whether interest rates affect venture capital (VC) fundraising, demand and investments. Lower interest rates fuel VC fundraising by making VC funds more attractive to limited partners (LPs) such as pension funds compared to alternative asset classes (e.g. bonds). We present evidence that higher interest rates make venture capital “cheaper” compared to bank loans and, consequently, boost VC demand from entrepreneurs. VC investment activity is influenced by supply and demand dynamics. Investments increase at high interest rates especially when VC supply is commensurate or higher than VC demand. These results are statistically significant and economically meaningful. Key Words: Venture Capital, VC, Fundraising, Demand, Investments, Interest Rates 1 The University of Auckland, Auckland Business School, Private Bag 92019, Auckland 1142, New Zealand.

Introduction Venture Capital (VC) generates economic prosperity by financing young, high growth firms and providing value-adding activities (Sorensen, 2007). The extant literature theorized a strong link between a thriving VC industry and economic growth (Gompers and Lerner, 2001; Kortun and Lerner, 2000; Samila and Sorenson, 2011). Entrepreneurship is commonly considered a key determinant of an economy’s capacity for wealth creation, job growth, and competitiveness (Hochberg, Ljungqvist and Lu, 2010), as well as the driving force behind some of the most vibrant entrepreneurial sectors of the global economy over the past decades (Jeng and Wells, 2000).

Some other people have capital, but not enough time or expertise in lucrative fields 4 Traditional Investment vs. VC • The main difference is between Risk & Reward • Risk factors in ventures are: • Innovation risk • Business model risk • Operation and scale up risk • +90% of Ventures have no earning for investor • VC is a Knowledge-base investor, you need to be expert in some fields. • So, you can help out and control management. • Also, you are doing something unique, so it has social impacts and personal identity 5 Risk in traditional company vs. digital company Relative weight of technological risk and marketing risk, as company grows 6 Why VC emerged in 20 century • In the past, Information from inside company could not effectively communicate to outside; so investors didn’t know what they are investing in.

  • The Separation of Platforms and Commerce
    THE SEPARATION OF PLATFORMS AND COMMERCE Lina M. Khan* A handful of digital platforms mediate a growing share of online commerce and communications. By structuring access to markets, these firms function as gatekeepers for billions of dollars in economic activity. One feature dominant digital platforms share is that they have inte- grated across business lines such that they both operate a platform and market their own goods and services on it. This structure places domi- nant platforms in direct competition with some of the businesses that de- pend on them, creating a conflict of interest that platforms can exploit to further entrench their dominance, thwart competition, and stifle innovation. This Article argues that the potential hazards of integration by dominant tech platforms invite recovering structural separations. Separations regimes limit the lines of business in which a firm can engage, either by proscribing entry in certain markets or by requiring that distinct lines of business be operated through separate affiliates. Previously implemented both as a standard regulatory intervention and key antitrust remedy in network industries, structural separations have been largely abandoned. At the same time that lawmakers have weak- ened or eliminated sector-specific regulatory regimes, judicial interpre- tation of antitrust law has drastically narrowed the forms of vertical conduct and structures that register as anticompetitive. And when antitrust enforcers have targeted these forms of conduct and structures, they have applied remedies that generally (1) fail to target the under- lying source of the problem and (2) overwhelm the institutional capacities of the actors assigned to oversee them. Neglecting struc- tural remedies results in both substantive harms and institutional * Academic Fellow, Columbia Law School.

  • Zappos: Delivering Happiness to Stakeholders
    Center for Ethical Organizational Cultures Auburn University http://harbert.auburn.edu Zappos: Delivering Happiness to Stakeholders INTRODUCTION Can a company focused on happiness be successful?

HISTORY Nick Swinmurn founded Zappos in 1999 after a fruitless day spent shopping for shoes in San Francisco. After looking online, Swinmurn decided to quit his job and start a shoe website that offered the best selection and best service. Originally called ShoeSite.com, the company started as a middleman, transferring orders between customers and suppliers but not holding any inventory (a “drop ship” strategy). The website was soon renamed Zappos, after the Spanish word for shoes (zapatos). In 2000, entrepreneur Tony Hsieh became the company’s CEO. Hsieh, 26 at the time, was an early investor in Zappos, having made $265 million selling his startup company to Mic rosoft in 1998.
