The truth is that there are more seed-stage investors, and more seed-stage capital being invested, than ever. Just as founders often feel that they have to scrape and claw their way to raising money, VCs often feel they have to go through similar trials to find good investments. But too many founders struggle with fundraising because they don’t understand how the seed fundraising ecosystem works and how to fundraise effectively and efficiently.

    Annual Report and Accounts 2017 HVPE Annual Report and Accounts 2017 US Building Long-term Wealth by Investing in Private Companies Why Private Markets? Globally, the opportunity set in private companies greatly exceeds that available in the listed markets. The private equity industry has grown steadily in recent years but is still viewed by many investors as an alternative asset class. Historically, private equity has delivered strong returns, outperforming listed equity over the long-term1. Why HVPE? HarbourVest Global Private Equity (“HVPE”) is a London listed, FTSE 250 private equity investment company with assets of nearly $1.5bn. HVPE is managed by HarbourVest, an independent global private markets investment specialist with 35 years of experience2. In the five years ending 31 January 2017, HVPE has achieved a return on opening net assets of 61.7%, implying a compound annual growth rate of 10.1% in US dollar terms (equivalent to 15.2% in GBP). Why Now? A growing number of mainstream investment managers are beginning to focus on the opportunities available in private companies. Meanwhile, established specialist funds such as HVPE have been delivering strong returns for many years while the shares have been trading at a discount to the value of their assets. 1 The median US private equity fund returned 13.9% annually over the 20 years to 30 September 2016, compared to 7.9% for the S&P 500 on a total return basis.

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. 2 HVPE (the “Company”) is Guernsey-incorporated and managed by HarbourVest Advisers L.P.

  • Songs of Profit, Song of Loss: Private Equity Investing in New York City
    Songs of Profit, Song of Loss: Private Equity Investing in New York City Daniel Souleles Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2015 © 2015 Daniel Souleles All rights reserved ABSTRACT Songs of Profit, Songs of Loss: Private Equity Investing in New York City Daniel Souleles This dissertation is an ethnographic description of the process by which private equity investors buy, manage, and sell companies for profit, all while private equity, as an industry, manages around $3.5 trillion of capital. Drawing from data gathered from the summer of 2012 through fall of 2014, this dissertation offers an account of investing that diverges from other ethnographic cases in that it relies on ongoing conversations about value and time that investors have, which seek to justify the decisions investors make. Once I explain how investors find and create value as well as the opportune time to invest, I explain how this negotiation fits into a stereotyped, formalized deal process, which acts like a total social fact in rearranging people and wealth in social life. I ultimately suggest that this approach to explaining the action of private equity investors has a broader use in rendering other financial capitalists ethnographically comparable to private equity investors, as well as in rendering other societal distributions of wealth and poverty comparable to that which exists in the contemporary United States.
