Abstract

Three types of nontraditional venture capital institutions are investigated: publicly funded and publicly managed, publicly funded and privately managed, and community-level equity funds. Each type has distinct advantages and disadvantages depending on program goals, funding sources, existing venture capital infrastructure, target industries and areas, and political environment. Successful nontraditional institutions tend to have skilled and experienced management, allocate resources to finding or generating investment opportunities, give significant attention to the fund's profitability, and enjoy insulation from political pressure or interference.
