TY - JOUR T1 - Quantitative VC: <em>A New Way to Growth</em> JF - The Journal of Private Equity SP - 14 LP - 28 DO - 10.3905/jpe.2013.17.1.014 VL - 17 IS - 1 AU - John Bhakdi Y1 - 2013/11/30 UR - https://pm-research.com/content/17/1/14.abstract N2 - 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 ER -
