Why have private equity funds experienced such tremendous cycles of boom and bust?
How have these funds created so much value?
Can we expect this kind of growth in other countries and other types of investments?
These are just a few of the exciting and important questions you’ll explore in this new and updated collection of real-world venture capital and private equity cases.
Now thoroughly revised to reflect the new realities in today's venture capital and private equity markets, Lerner, Hardymon, and Leamon's Third Edition addresses such timely issues as troubled portfolio companies, markedly smaller funds, and ongoing attempts to address the problematic practices of the late 1990s.
This books provides useful information on key topics such as investing and analyzing private equity funds from an institution's perspective, fund of funds, forming a private equity fund, and the direct investments into companies by the private equity funds, along with many other topics.
The cases take you through each step in the venture capital/private equity process, including:
- Raising and structuring private equity funds
- Investing in, monitoring of, and adding value to companies
- Exiting investments and returning capital to the private equity group's investors
-Adapting the private equity model in other settings, such as corporate and community development venture funds

From the publisher
Over the past twenty years, the private equity industry has undergone tremendous growth and sweeping changes. With the growth of private equity investing, it is imperative that financial professionals fully understand this complex subject. The cases and notes in this updated edition are designed to provide you with a better understanding of the history of the private equity industrys development and the workings of the industry today. Divided into four modules, the first examines how private equity funds are raised and structured; the second considers the interactions between private equity investors and the entrepreneurs that they finance; the third discusses the process through which private equity investors exit their investments; and the last considers the future of the private equity industry.

A must for anyone wanting to know how VC firms work, structure themselves, and considerations for funding. This is an excellent case study that ought to be in a graduate program! It's as close as you'll get without working for a VC firm. I would suggest reading "The Venture Capital Cycle" first to get a general feel for VC and how it works. Then read the case study! |

This book provides a good overview of venture capital and buyout fund management. It addresses the investment process through four modules: fundraising, investing, exiting, and new frontiers. There are twenty nine chapters of which nine are instructional and the rest are case studies. Though there is information interspersed within the case studies, I think it would have been better to have had shorter case studies and longer instructional pieces to delve more deeply into subjects. |

Want examples of how funding works? Want to know how Venture firms set up their business? Want to know everything about practical application of VC firms? This may be as close as you'll get without actually working in one. This ought to be a text book in graduate school. I'd suggest "The Venture Capital Cycle" as the first book to get an overview of VC's. Then, read this one and you'll be pretty proficient in terms of being an outsider. Great Case Study! |
