Venture-capital syndication: improved venture selection vs. the value-added S.R. Das et
No full textSyndication arises when venture capitalists jointly invest in projects. We model and test two possible reasons for syndication: project selection, as an additional venture capitalist provides an informative second opinion; and complementary management skills of additional venture capitalists. The cen-tral question is whether venture capitalists are engaged primarily in selection or in managerial value added. These alternatives imply contrasting predic-tions about comparative returns to syndicated and standalone investments. Our empirical analysis, using Canadian data, finds that syndicated invest-ments have higher returns, favoring the value-added interpretation. We also discuss risk sharing and project scale as possible reasons for syndication. James Brander and Werner Antweiler are in the Faculty of Commerce at the University of British Columbia.
