It is a bit misleading to label all private equity as "massively leveraged." None of the major investors in "unicorns" of VC use leverage (e.g. Uber https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/uber&#x2F

Perhaps Mac users are wealthier than the average Windows user? I am not so sure about the Linux differential. It would be interesting to see the differences conditional on income.

Many of these actions are a consequence of the tax code: non-profit institutions such as universities can borrow for capital projects at the municipal rate and invest at the market rate (the latter is usually higher than the former). Most

One might argue they didn't invest -- or the company said no! -- for the same reason corporate VC is sometimes frowned upon. Taking capital from corporations with related products can scare future partners or customers. Moreover, why sell

Here's an academic article on the pay for entrepreneurs backed by VCs: http://www.stanford.edu/~rehall/HallWoodward6.pdf High average returns driven by huge exits and most entrepreneurs earn 0.

You have to believe that the (huge) growth rate is perpetual. Most firms do not grow faster than US GDP growth in the long-run.

An API for the raw data that underlies this system would be extremely useful to academics. Databases like compustat and execucomp are expensive and lack some of the most interesting details in SEC documents. I have worked on trying to ext

Awesome, sounds like you automated and crowd-sourced quality control. Will definitely check it out.

Sounds interesting. Similar to Crowdflower, but with less management on the user end. Crowdflower provides "gold tests" that help filter out mistakes and makes it my go-to source for Turk tasks with a bit too much complexity. Of course,

Not mentioned: Google makes about 1/2 its revenues abroad and that cash is costly to bring back to the US (tax laws). So borrowing money in the US could bring their available US cash balance up to the "optimal" level. See pg. 21 of their

Great idea, but if you don't use instagram (i.e. share your photos with the world) there is one alternative that I could find in 5 minutes of Googling: shoot it! http://www.shootit.com/ They appears to send it from the nearest country you

Thinking about this a bit more, Mark Cuban is essentially arguing that recent VC investments are equivalent to the activity that takes place on Second Market and others like it. If that was so, Twitter, Zynga and Facebook would have to buy

Mark Cuban's statement is only true if the VC financings are simply a buyout of previous investors. Many of Facebook's recent financings were capital injections + buyouts of founder and early VC shares. I don't believe this is the norm. S

Important caveat: "I’m not kidding when I say that I spent probably more than 24 total hours in the past three weeks having a blast on this thing creating itineraries, checking mileage, and figuring out where the heck I could go without goi

Now that is one area the academic literature on venture capital and entrepreneurship hasn't studied: the social networks of entrepreneurs and bargaining power. Putting that on my list.

Perhaps the ycfounders list is a selected sample: it produces or selects above-average quality founders that are more likely to get a good Series A price (in terms of both control and pre$). I suspect that YCombinator's focus on founders f
