    pter O ha n C e An Historic Overview of Venture Capitalism • Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. —George Santayana Why is an historical overview of VC important? Because history does in fact repeat itself, and a study of history allows us to frame an ­understanding of the present and the future. The playersCOPYRIGHTED and the investment climate MATERIAL change, but the entrepreneur’s innate instinct to risk capital for a return is no different today from what it was when John D. Rockefeller became America’s first billionaire in 1900. When Andrew c01.indd 1 10-12-2013 8:50:11 [2] The Little Book of Venture Capital Investing Carnegie joined forces with his childhood friend, Henry Phipps, to form Carnegie Steel in 1892, they were driven by the same conviction to improve the status quo as are the idealistic dream chasers of the twenty-first century. It was these early trailblazers who paved the way and developed the techniques that have laid the foundation for VC as we know it today. Arguably, historians will debate the nature of history and its usefulness. This includes using the discipline as a way of providing perspective on the problems and opportu- nities of the present. I believe it to be an important tool in providing a systematic account and window to the future. It is patently dishonest and irresponsible to perpetuate the popular mythology that those who created great wealth in America are to be despised and that there are no useful les- sons to be learned from an objective, historical review of their contributions to the subject at hand.

    • PRO VC INDUSTRY NEWS David Morgenthaler, One of Venture Capital’s Founding Fathers, Dies at 96 David Morgenthaler PHOTO: GARY MORGENTHALER By DEBORAH GAGE June 20, 2016 3:52 p.m. ET David T. Morgenthaler, who in 1968 used his own capital to start one of the nation’s first venture-capital firms and would go on to raise more than $3 billion in financing over his career, has died at the age of 96. He built Morgenthaler Ventures in Cleveland into a firm that invested in more than 325 startups in areas ranging from information technology to life sciences, an investment focus that was inspired in part by one of his son’s battles with cancer. Mr. Morgenthaler was also an early leader who shaped the venture capital industry and its policy agenda. He was one of the founding directors of the National Venture Capital Association, which started as “an old boys’ club” of about 20 firms that got together to pitch deals, his son Gary said. As NVCA president, Mr. Morgenthaler oversaw the group’s move from Chicago to Washington, hired permanent staff and set a legislative agenda that resulted in rolling back the capital gains tax from 49% to 28% as an incentive to create entrepreneurial companies. In 1979 Mr. Morgenthaler led the industry’s successful effort to amend legislation that would allow pension funds to invest in private-equity and venture-capital firms, boosting the amount of money flowing into venture capital. He was recognized for work on that issue in 1996 when he was awarded the NVCA’s first lifetime achievement honors.

Wessner, PhD1 U. S. National Academies 1. INTRODUCTION Germany and the United States face a common challenge in promoting innovation and entrepreneurship to maintain their leadership in global markets, with the economic growth and employment both societies seek. To this end, innovative policies at national and regional level are needed so that entrepreneurs—our local heroes—can be more successful in bringing the fruits of innovation to commercial reality. There is no prescribed formula to respond to this challenge. To foster the innovation process, public policies have to recognize and facilitate entrepreneurship within the multiple local contexts within which innovation takes place. For policies to be effective, they must focus less on aggregate input measures such as R&D percentages and more on the problems and incentives facing innovative entrepreneurs. The United States is widely seen as one of the world’s most innovative economies.
