Only 10 venture-backed companies have braved a public debut this year. Boyajian says companies must weigh coming out against shortening their runway in an era of less available capital from venture capital and private equity sources.

The startup, which is seeking $2.5 million in venture capital, has produced a two-seater city car called the Whip, which can reach speeds of up to 35 miles per hour and travel up to 50 miles on an eight-hour charge. While it is not as sleek as the better known, faster alternative, the Tesla Roadster (base price: $109,000), the Wheego at $19,500 before a $7,500 government incentive costs a pittance in comparison.

for 300 held on September 15 at an outdoor burger stand favored by the New York tech crowd. The casual gathering was organized by O'Donnell and hosted by nextN, a group he founded for up-and-comers in the tech and new-media fields. The evening offered precious opportunities for entrepreneurs and investors to rub elbows -- and make deals. We were there, videotaping our conversations with dozens of the digerati.

At 79, Ferri, whose firm's new $600 million fund is the second-largest VC fund raised this year, announced he will no longer lead new investments but will leave that job to his younger partners. Heesen says it's a strategy other established VC firms would do well to emulate. Watch the video below or download it on iTunes.

It becomes even more so when the target company is involved in a joint venture that includes one or more partners. In this edition of Inside the Deal, Sullivan & Cromwell LLP M&A partner Frank Aquila says in this scenario a buyer may have little or no direct contact with those third parties. It's critical, says Aquila -- who recently participated in The Deal's due diligence best practices webcast -- to understand the contracts that underpin the JV, paying particular attention to change of control provisions. - Suzanne Stevens<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/" >thedealvideo</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/&">&</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/Aquila">Aquila</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/Cromwell">Cromwell</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/Frank">Frank</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/M&A">M&A</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/Sullivan">Sullivan</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/business">business</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/joint">joint</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/venture">venture</a></p> Mon, 10 Aug 2009 21:03:01 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/videos/278/ & Aquila Cromwell Frank M&A Sullivan business joint venture thedealvideo Sullivan's Aquila on joint venture due diligence http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/videos/277/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/videos/277/" title="NVCA's Mark Heessen on fundraising" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_5d37574b.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="NVCA's Mark Heessen on fundraising" border="0" /></a></p> The venture capital fundraising climate is downright Darwinian these days, says National Venture Capital Association president Mark Heessen in this episode of The Deal's Behind the Money online video show.

Sodhani also discusses the effect that the until-recently nonexistent IPO market has had on Intel Capital's portfolio and on how recent innovations, such as SecondMarket's Private Company Market, may help investors get some liquidity from pre-IPO companies.<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/" >thedealvideo</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/Arvind">Arvind</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/Capital">Capital</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/Intel">Intel</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/SecondMarket">SecondMarket</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/Sodhani">Sodhani</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/business">business</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/capital">capital</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/dealflow">dealflow</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/startups">startups</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/technology">technology</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/valuations">valuations</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/venture">venture</a></p> Tue, 23 Jun 2009 14:41:01 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/videos/267/ Arvind Capital Intel SecondMarket Sodhani business capital dealflow startups technology valuations venture thedealvideo Dealflow declines, says Intel Capital's Sodhani http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/videos/266/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/videos/266/" title="Apture helps media, one link at a time" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_b15bdc6e.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="Apture helps media, one link at a time" border="0" /></a></p> In this episode our Behind the Money online video show, Tristan Harris, co-founder and CEO of Apture Inc., tells The Deal how informal chats with fellow students at Stanford University, who happened to be world-class journalists, led to the birth of his San Mateo, Calif., startup. Apture, which has developed a clever technique for adding relevant links to Web pages and has attracted an impressive roster of customers, including the Washington Post Co., Reuters and the BBC, recently raised a $4.1 million Series A round led by early-stage venture capital firm Clearstone Venture Partners. Harris was introduced to the partners at Clearstone by JT Batson, head of business development for the Rubicon Project, a Los Angeles startup in Clearstone's portfolio. Click here for a Q&A with Clearstone partner David Stern on why the firm is backing Apture. The startup was seeded in the summer of 2007 with $500,000 from individual investors, including VMware Inc. (NYSE:VMW) CEO Paul Martiz, former Boston Globe executive vice president Steve Taylor and former Warburg Pincus managing director Beau Vrolyk. (The Deal Pipeline subscribers can learn more about Apture and its funding here.) In the video, Tristan (pictured) says that Apture was hatched over informal conversations with Pam Maples, assistant managing editor of The Dallas Morning News, and Martin Turner, Americas bureau chief of the British Broadcasting Corp., both of whom were Stanford University Knight Fellows in 2006 when Harris was a Mayfield Fellow with the Stanford Technology Ventures Program.

In Part 2 of The Deal's Behind the Money video conversation with NVCA president Mark Heesen, we talk about the regulatory climate for VC. "The last decade has been characterized by a series of broad sweeping regulations aimed at curbing serious abuses within the financial system but fraught with unintended consequences for small pre-public and public companies," says Heesen, pointing to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Global Settlement to Regulation Fair Disclosure of 2000 as the chief culprits. "The NVCA strongly supports regulation and protecting investors where necessary but does not support a 'one-size-fits-all' regulatory approach," Heesen says. After months of soliciting input from leaders in all aspects of technology dealmaking, the NVCA outlined remedies for addressing the capital markets crisis for U.S. venture-backed companies. The proposals ask venture capitalists, investment banks, accounting firms, law firms, stock exchanges and the federal government to consider a variety of steps, including new ways to link buyers and sellers of private company stock, using a wider variety of service providers including investment banks and accounting firms, and pushing for tax policies that could boost VC investment.

Exits are the number one concern for venture capitalists, NVCA president Mark Heesen tells The Deal in Part 1 of our Behind the Money video conversation. Only seven venture-backed companies have gone public in the last five quarters, according to Heesen. "At the end of the day, venture capital is all about returns," says Heesen. "VCs haven't been able to deliver returns to their LPs." The latest numbers coming from the NVCA show that the closed IPO market wreaked havoc on VC performance in the fourth quarter of last year, when returns declined across most time horizons. The trade group's data on the first quarter has also been disappointing: VC investment plunged to a 12-year low, and fewer VC funds were raised in the quarter than in any quarter over the last five-plus years. More details on the NVCA's strategy for helping open up the IPO process are expected at a press conference Wednesday morning. Watch the video below or download it on iTunes.

Infusionsoft, which makes marketing software for small businesses, began raising its Series B last fall, just as venture capitalists were waking up to the realities of the recession. Nevertheless, Infusionsoft succeeded not only in raising a $7.9 million round but also in attracting a new investor in VSpring Capital, which led the round. VSpring managing director Scott Petty has joined Infusionsoft's board. (Both Infusionsoft and VSpring are based in Salt Lake City, Utah.) Existing investor Mohr Davidow also participated in the round, which closed in December.<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/" >thedealvideo</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/capital">capital</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/city">city</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/clate">clate</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/good">good</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/infusionsoft">infusionsoft</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/lake">lake</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/mask">mask</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/petty">petty</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/r.i.p.">r.i.p.</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/salt">salt</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/scott">scott</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/sequoia">sequoia</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/times">times</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/venture">venture</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/tags/vspring">vspring</a></p> Wed, 18 Mar 2009 18:33:00 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/videos/218/ capital city clate good infusionsoft lake mask petty r.i.p. salt scott sequoia times venture vspring thedealvideo Infusionsoft CEO on how he raised Series B
