AB  - Innovation is the sole driver of productivity—and with it, growth across all asset classes. But the asset class in charge of financing innovation is in trouble: Conventional VC has failed to deliver superior returns, assumes great investment risks, and remains tiny in size. Traditional VC ignores the dramatic changes in the larger innovation ecosystem, including a new dimension of technology, talent, and culture that allows for the mass production of progress. Quantitative V C is a new, scientific approach that leverages ecosystems rather than individual startups and provides a new innovation capital infrastructure. It shows the risk mitigation, returns, and scalability required to unlock the great opportunity of our time: technology startup innovation.TOPICS: Private equity, statistical methods, equity portfolio management, performance measurement
