This has resulted in reduced investment into European VC by the traditional institutional investors. The book investigates the factors that give rise to the performance difference. My\u00a0research at the Adam Smith Business School, University of Glasgow\u00a0involved a qualitative study of some 64 VC firms in UK, continental Europe and USA supplemented by 40 interviews with other stakeholders, including limited partner investors, corporate venturers, entrepreneurs and advisors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Readers will gain an in-depth understanding of the various structural, operational and wider environmental factors that impact on the performance difference between UK \/ European and US VC funds. The study is unique in that it provides, for the first time, a holistic and extensive analysis of the entire investment process from sourcing deals to exiting deals\u00a0specifically contrasting Europe and the US in terms of the variables pertaining to the investment process and the impact on fund performance. <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Factors impacting on the performance differential are structural resulting from characteristics of the funds themselves, operational such as the investment practices of the VC firms which manage the funds and environmental such as culture and attitude to risk and the wider ecosystem in which the funds operate. These factors are set out clearly for the reader. The characteristics of the better performing funds in Europe and US are also investigated.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The book is aimed at academics who are researching venture capital fund performance and investment practices and also at practitioners, advisors and policy makers who want to learn about best VC investment practices. Whilst the book is focused on European and US VC investing the best practices are also pertinent for VC firms and funds setting up in other geographies, particularly in emerging markets. To this end best practice guidelines based on the research are included.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>For a synopsis of the book&#8217;s contents see:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.keitharundale.com\/index.php\/publications\/books\">http:\/\/www.keitharundale.com\/index.php\/publications\/books<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For a discount of 20% on the book&#8217;s cover price see: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.keitharundale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Flyer-monograph.pdf\">Flyer monograph<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My new book &#8220;Venture Capital Performance: A Comparative Study of Investment Practices in Europe and the USA&#8221; is to be published by Routledge (Taylor &amp; Francis Group) in December 2019.
