Venture Capital and Private Equity: A Casebook

Over the past fifteen years, there has been a tremendous boom in the private equity industry. Despite this growth, many questions about private equity remain unanswered, and many of its features continue to be mysterious. This volume, divided into four modules, explores these exciting and important questions. The first module examines how private equity funds are raised and structured; the second considers the interactions between private equity investors and the entrepreneurs that they finance; the third examines the process through which private equity investors exit their investments; and the last reviews many of the key ideas developed in the volume.
