![]() Venture capital firms' investment preferences may be affected by the source of their funds. Most UK venture capital firms raise their funds for investment from external sources, mainly institutional investors, such as pension funds and insurance companies. To obtain their funds, venture capital firms have to demonstrate a good track record and the prospect of producing returns greater than can be achieved through fixed interest or quoted equity investments. They raise their funds from several sources. Just as management teams compete for finance, so do venture capital firms. Where do venture capital firms obtain their money? Investments in more mature businesses, where the business performance can be improved quicker and easier, are often sold sooner than investments in early-stage or technology companies where it takes time to develop the business model. The term of the investment is often linked to the growth profile of the business. Venture capital firms usually look to retain their investment for between three and seven years or more. Venture capital investors are only interested in companies with high growth prospects, which are managed by experienced and ambitious teams who are capable of turning their business plan into reality.įor how long do venture capitalists invest in a business? As a rule of thumb, unless a business can offer the prospect of significant turnover growth within five years, it is unlikely to be of interest to a venture capital firm. Such businesses are aiming to grow rapidly to a significant size. Rather, it is more about the investment's aspirations and potential for growth, rather than by current size. This does not necessarily mean small or new businesses. Venture capitalist prefer to invest in "entrepreneurial businesses". What kind of businesses are attractive to venture capitalists? There are now over 100 active venture capital firms in the UK, which provide several billion pounds each year to unquoted companies mostly located in the UK. This informal method of financing became an industry in the late 1970s and early 1980s when a number of venture capital firms were founded. Venture capital in the UK originated in the late 18th century, when entrepreneurs found wealthy individuals to back their projects on an ad hoc basis. This return is generally earned when the venture capitalist "exits" by selling its shareholding when the business is sold to another owner. As a shareholder, the venture capitalist's return is dependent on the growth and profitability of the business. Venture capital is invested in exchange for an equity stake in the business. Lenders have a legal right to interest on a loan and repayment of the capital, irrespective of the success or failure of a business. Obtaining venture capital is substantially different from raising debt or a loan from a lender. If an entrepreneur is looking to start-up, expand, buy-into a business, buy-out a business in which he works, turnaround or revitalise a company, venture capital could help do this. ![]() Venture capital provides long-term, committed share capital, to help unquoted companies grow and succeed. However, it should be pointed out the attributes that both venture capital firms and business angels look for in potential investments are often very similar. In these notes, we principally focus on venture capital firms. Separate Tutor2u revision notes cover the operation of business angels. The main sources of venture capital in the UK are venture capital firms and "business angels" - private investors. ![]() ![]() Risk capital is invested as shares (equity) rather than as a loan and the investor requires a higher"rate of return" to compensate him for his risk.

Ready to Run follows 14-year-old Corrie Ortiz. Below, check out 7 characters (all of whom are women) that inspired us 90s and 00s kids, and yes, all the movies are incredibly cheesy. And while we didn’t find that many – we excluded films like Rip Girls because while Camilla Belle is Latina her character isn’t and disqualified some of the newer films (sorry, Camp Rock) – there are a few that we know we could use on our TVs today (Gabriella from Brink!). While this era saw classics like Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century, Johnny Tsunami, and Halloweentown, the truth is, we hardly saw ourselves represented on the screen.īy now, Disney Channel has produced more than 100 DCOMs, so we decided to look back and find the Latino characters that played a role in shaping our childhoods. Disney Channel actually began airing television movies in 1983 (known then as Disney Channel Premiere Films), but by 1997 had rebranded them as Disney Channel Original Movies. If you were a kid in the late 90s and early aughts, you probably grew up watching Disney Channel Original Movies (DCOMs) – arguably the best TV movies the House of Mouse has ever produced. ![]() Don’t get me wrong, it’s pretty great as it is, but there are some unreleased songs they didn’t use and some alternate versions that are out there that really could’ve kicked this album up to the next level. You see, I’ve always liked it, but this time I listened to the version from the recently released Feel Flows: The Sunflower & Surf’s Up Sessions 1969–1971 box set, and with all the extra outtakes and unreleased material included with the box set, listening to it this time around, it really drove home the point how much better this album could’ve been. As usual.Īnyway, as to the album itself, I’ll tell you what, going back to Surf’s Up this time has made me change my opinion of the album a little bit. So as it turns out, I’m not as special as I thought I was. The original is much bigger, and currently resides at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. Except after doing a little research I discovered that there are actually a ton of copies around, and the one I saw was merely one of them. I had no idea it was so close to where I live, but there it was, live and in person. Sure enough, it was End of the Trail by James Earle Fraser, which inspired the cover of Surf’s Up. And coincidentally, it just so happens that a couple of weeks ago for our anniversary my wife and I went to the Dayton Art Institute (because what’s more romantic than looking at a bunch of old paintings?), and lo and behold, I came across a sculpture that looked suspiciously familiar: A few weeks ago I got a request to review the Beach Boys’ Surf’s Up, and given that I’ve reviewed pretty much all of the other Beach Boys’ post- Pet Sounds albums from the late 60s and early 70s except that one, it kind of made sense anyway. I could go on about the amazingness of Alice Cooper all day, but that’s not really why we’re here today. Excellent show, Alice still has it, unlike just about every performer his age he is still bringing it just as much as he did 40 years ago. But this time we splurged a bit and got good seats, and being able to see everything going on spoiled me a little, I don’t know if I’m ever going to be able to be a cheapest-seats-in-the-house kind of guy again. We got better seats than I usual get at a concert too, I’m usually a cheapest-seats-in-the-house kind of guy, mostly because I’m not rich. Generally it’s Ozzy Osbourne who gets the really impressive guitar players, but this time Alice came up with a real winner, she’s something else. I’ve always liked the solid and dependable Ryan Roxie, and Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner were legendary, and that weight lifter muscle man guy was kind of fun to watch, but Nita is on a whole other level. Seeing his guitarist Nita Strauss is a bonus, she’s an exceptional guitarist, easily the best guitarist Alice has ever played with. If any of you haven’t seen Alice Cooper live in concert, you better get tickets this time around, because you never know how much longer a 74 year-old-man is going to be touring. It was the 12th time I’ve seen him, and it was as phenomenal as any of the other times, maybe even the best of all of them. We had to drive through a snow storm to get to Cincinnati to see him, but it was worth risking our lives for. ![]() I’ve taken all of my kids to see him, it’s a family tradition. I saw him a week ago, my brother came up from Texas to see him with me, we took one of my sons along, and the show was fantastic.
