Orrick is proud to be a part of the New York venture community. And we’re equally proud to co-sponsor CB Insight’s New York Venture Capital Almanac. That’s because we think the NY VC Almanac is, and will be, a useful snapshot of where the New York venture community is right now, as well as a brief summary of where we’ve been. People will surely use the NY VC Almanac in a number of ways. But on a meta level, we think it makes a couple of points worth noting. First, the New York venture community is growing. And, though the NY VC Almanac doesn’t (and shouldn’t) include comparative data to other U.S. venture markets, if it did, it would show that the New York venture market is growing faster than the venture capital markets in other U.S. geographies. Second, and we believe more importantly, the NY VC Almanac shows that the New York venture community is a substantial market in and of itself, with numbers showing real deal volumes, and names showing real tech luminaries, both on the company and investor side. Companies and investors that have made names for themselves not just in New York, but throughout the national and global venture community. This is as it should be. Web and mobile businesses touch broad geographies, but there must be a reason why so many of them are now being formed and funded from New York. As the NY VC Almanac shows, the New York venture community has substantial, and growing, reach in the larger venture community. Sincerely, David L. Concannon Partner, Emerging Companies group, New York 2 We’ve had a front row seat to the exciting pace of growth in the In New York, there will still be challenges, such as finding innovation sector in and around New York City for more than a enough engineers, and there will, of course, be business cycles, dozen years. Working with some of the most exciting sectors, but a solid foundation has been built here and we are confident companies and their investors in business today, we’re thrilled to the momentum will continue. The global technology sector is play a role in strengthening the environment for dynamic, innovative growing and New York continues to prove it is worthy of its fair companies in New York – and we see it paying off. share. The city’s professional and cultural diversity, open community and Sincerely, mentorship mindset, as well as HQ for a significant number of Fortune 500 companies, continue to attract an increasing number of startups. Michael Moretti Silicon Valley Bank, New York The data presented in this report definitely reflects our experience and what we see on a day to day basis. The tech sector locally is having another great year. In fact, based on first half activity, 2013 is on pace to achieve a five year high in deal and funding levels. Yahoo’s $1.1 billion acquisition of Tumblr, New York’s first billion dollar acquisition since Google bought DoubleClick in 2007, was definitely a highlight and Brooklyn’s Makerbot was acquired for $403 million too. Even the suburbs contributed significantly with Priceline’s $1.8 billion acquisition of Norwalk, CT-based Kayak. New York tech employment continues to grow at a strong rate, much faster than overall private sector employment, and the increasing number of startups has contributed significantly to this growth. Google’s expansion in New York, which now accounts for 10% of its employees as well as about 1,500 engineers, also helps. We’re seeing an increase in new company formation nationally and innovation and entrepreneurship are responsible for creating new opportunities, jobs and wealth in every global location where SVB has an office. 3 Banking the world's most innovative companies and exclusive wineries, SVB's diverse financial services, knowledge, global network, and world class service increase our clients' probability of success.

    So What Does Bain Say to Its Clients?

    So what does Bain say to its clients? Leads | By Remapping Debate | Economy, Politics Jan 18, 2012 — Does it really make sense to take at face value the statements made by and on be- half of Mitt Romney as he and his campaign try to place a positive spin on his tenure at Bain Capital? Wouldn’t it be better to look at how the firm articulates its mission for current and prospective business clients? So far, that has not been happening. Gov. Romney and his lieu- The suggestions that Bain tenants have engaged in a two-track operation. One element was or is somehow in the — which may very well work — is to try to frighten the press into business of job creation or submission with the 2012 version of the Red Scare (“you’re giv- ing aid and comfort to the enemies of capitalism”). sought to create jobs are fundamentally deceitful. The other element is to turn his vulnerability on profiting from American job losses to the kind of “he said, she said” story that many like to serve up as evidence of evenhandedness. As has been reported, “Mr. Romney as of late has defended his record at the firm. He has touted the success of some businesses, including Staples, and said job losses at others were unfortunate.” If there are two sides to the story, they certainly do not seem balanced: companies did shed jobs on the advice or at the direction of Bain, and job gains at some companies in which B ain invested did not necessarily mean a net gain for the economy (company A gaining jobs and market share at the expense of company B does not increase overall job numbers).

    Trends of Venture Capital Internationalisation the Impact of a Technology Ecosystem on Early Stage Cross- Border Investments

    Trends of Venture Capital Internationalisation The impact of a technology ecosystem on early stage cross- border investments . AUTHOR Anna Ahlm TUTOR Conny Overland Spring term 2014 FEA50E Degree Project in Business Administration for Master of Science in Business and Economics, 30 credits Abstract The venture capital industry has grown rapidly in the last decades to become an important source of financing for entrepreneurs. While research suggests that venture capital investments are more likely to be successful if done in close geographic proximity to the venture capital firm, there is clearly a trend of increasing international investments. This thesis looks at the venture capital community in New York to understand venture capital as a part of the development of New York’s technology cluster, and to understand venture capitalists view on cross-border investments. By applying the ecosystem resource perspective model, the study finds that venture capitalists have a strong influence on the technology ecosystem in New York, due to its large financial sector. The study also finds that ecosystem sub-sectors have developed by applying technology to the dominating business sectors in New York. The study also identifies a “reverse internationalisation”, whereby companies founded abroad relocate to New York at earlier stages in their development, as the growth of the New York ecosystem has increased its attractiveness to foreign founded companies. While the empirical results confirm an increasing interest for cross-border investing, the increased supply of early stage investment opportunities (U.S. and foreign founded) creates a strong incentive for a local investment strategy. Further, the study finds that venture capitalists mitigate the risks associated with cross-border investments by establishing funds in specific regions of interest, and by co- investing with local partners.
