Consequently, industry is in the crosshairs commercial sector— of not only foreign competitors, but also of foreign intelligence services one that focuses more that seek to surreptitiously obtain valuable knowledge and other on recognizing and responding to intellectual property. This is an unfair fight. It is further complicated by indicators of the the fact that both adversaries and allies alike have directed their threat, less on turning intelligence resources against U.S. industry. to investigators once the damage has Although the U.S. government has attempted to partner with the private sector on already been done. counterintelligence (CI) awareness and response, these efforts have been plagued by a limited concept of which industry sectors are at risk, inconsistency in programs, and redundancies across agencies. Moreover, the U.S. intelligence community is already being asked to do more with less. It is time for a new approach to the important function of counterintelligence outreach to the commercial sector. Such an approach must focus more on recognizing and responding to indicators of the threat, less on turning to investigators once the damage has already been done. Counterintelligence—in the theoretical sense—means preventing an adversary’s intelligence services from acquiring an information advantage.

  • 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.

Dev’essere una città deliziosa, e possedere tutte le attrattive del Nuovo Mondo. OSCAR WILDE DAY AFTER «Prenda qualcosa di caldo, caro» dice una signora con capello candido, al Whole Foods di California Avenue, mentre mi servo un po’ di mashed potatoes il giorno dopo l’elezione di Trump del 2016. A casa, lo psicodramma. Avevo fatto questo esperimento sociologico, per un mese: vivere in un co-living, moderna declinazione della comune, ma qui di ragazzotti col sogno della startup, arrivati da tutto il mondo per giocarsela a San Francisco; dunque camerette minuscole a rischio agibilità vicino al Civic Center, due bagni per dieci persone, uno studentato fuori tempo massimo. Nella Casa del Grande Fratello Startupparo oltre a me ci sono A., ventenne argentina molto simpatica, che studia diritto internazionale e sta tutto il tempo a parlare con la fidanzata che fa la dentista a Mar del Plata, e S., ventenne ingegnere di Stoccarda con una passione soprattutto turistica per la Silicon Valley: va a vedere tutti i quartier generali, di Facebook, di LinkedIn, di Twitter, non si perde un garage, di Steve Jobs, di Google, di HP, e fa le sue stories, soddisfattissimo (si capisce subito che uno dei business più fruttuosi qui non è la startup, ma il turismo della startup).
