Private equity financing to start-up

Assignment Help Management Theories

Reference no: EM133293722

Question: Imagine that you work for a venture capital (VC) company as an investment analyst. Your company provides private equity financing to start-up and early-stage companies that have high growth potential. Because of the high risk, your company takes a percentage ownership in each of the companies it invests in (i.e. high risk: high reward).

In the beginning of your career, you recommended that your company invest in Google and Amazon, which ended up earning your company millions of dollars. In 2008 and 2009, you recommended Airbnb and Uber (which were new start-ups at the time).

This recommendation also yielded your company tens of millions of dollars in profit. Recently, though, your recommended investments have caused your company to lose millions, and you're worried you may lose your job. Help save your career! Go online and search for start-up/young companies (hint: technology companies are often companies that VC's seek to invest in) that you believe will help your company earn millions of dollars.

Aim for a company that is less than 5 years old. Once you find a start-up/young company to invest in, write a paragraph explaining what this company is all about.
