Abstract
The authors recently completed the first-ever study of how venture capitalists systematically help their portfolio companies grow. They found that certain VCs are aggressively building out a focused portfolio operations skillset and recruiting more people with operational backgrounds. Based on a range of sources, the authors believe that most funds with well-developed “portfolio operator” models have top-quartile returns (above 20% internal rate of return in the relevant time periods). The authors detail the resources that operationally focused VCs have to leverage and how exactly they assist their portfolio companies.
