Why Venture Capital
Changing dynamics of the public markets have provided tailwinds to investment opportunities in private market investments.
Companies Staying Private Longer
With companies staying private longer, the vast majority of the returns from private tech, based on our observations, has accrued to the private investors before the public offering. Plus, access is gated, with hefty tolls, by fund managers and growth equity firms, just as in the real estate private equity world.
During the 90’s and early 00’s, companies like Amazon and Google went public relatively soon in their growth cycle, while companies today are waiting on average 10 years longer. In our view, individual investors confined to the public markets are missing out on a substantial portion of the returns generated by the next generation of industry leaders.
More Value Created While Private
As companies have stayed private longer, they have raised more capital and increase enterprise value while staying private. This trend may cause less of enterprise value to be obtained by investors post-IPO.
Generational gains may be tough to obtain in specific public market technology companies, but still may be able to be obtained in the private markets closer to company inception.
Larger Pool of Investable Companies
The majority of larger companies are not traded on the public stock exchange, most are privately held representing more opportunites for investment. The number of public companies has continued to decrease, over the last 25 years there has even been a 50% reduction in the number of public companies.
