Monetizing disruptive innovation
Founded in 1998, The Venture Company is the company of an entrepreneur, investor and serial CEO turned conservationist of the high-yield technology asset-class, serving Venture Capitalists, Limited Partners and Fund-managers.
For Limited Partners & Fund-managers
Technology Venture is a premium private equity asset class that over the last 9 years has produced no more than 10% IRR. Limited Partners need to use different yard sticks to locate and drive money-managers to a new bright future.
How we help
We help LPs qualify and segment the Money Managers who have the potential to significantly improve the venture performance the technology sector deserves. But in order to make that potential a reality we need to hold VC to higher standards. We will tell you which pitfalls to avoid and what strategies to deploy.

For Money Managers
No longer can technology money-managers (or General Partners), rely on an tide that rises all boats. As the intermediary between the origination of money and the entrepreneurial idea, GPs need to deploy aggressive new strategies to appease both Limited Partners and Entrepreneurs.
