The purpose of this report is to provide readers with an initial understanding of the venture capital & private equity markets, including mezzanine finance. Throughout the late 1980s, the private equity market boomed. Who can forget RJR Nabisco and other well-known LBO deals? The funds invested in these LBOs came from private equity funds. More recently, in the late 1990s, the venture capital market grew crazily. Start up companies with limited revenues, and often no products, raised significant funds. These monies came from venture capital funds. But in the early 2000s, the venture capital market fell apart with the dot com implosion, and in the late 2000s & early 2010s, the credit crisis challenged the private equity market. This is the second draft of Tiburon’s research on this topic.

Tiburon’s first draft of this report was published in 2000; that draft consolidated prior Tiburon research into one report and that version was actually a broad report addressing hedge funds, venture capital & private equity, real estate, & other alternative investments.

This is Tiburon’s second draft of this report; this draft unbundles venture capital & private equity from Tiburon’s other equally good reports on hedge funds, real estate, & other alternative investments. Furthermore, this draft included updates on the report’s storyline, adds structurally to the appendix, and includes initial and/or enhanced profiles of hundreds of firms that participate in this market, including Aquiline Holdings, Foundation Capital, FTV Ventures, PFK Development Group, Red Eagle Ventures, Serent Capital, Sorin Capital Management, & Triton Pacific Capital Partners.
