Investor Blockade of Business

William Bains

Chapter 9 in Venture Capital and the European Biotechnology Industry, 2009, pp 123-139 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract As we have seen, VCs claim that they support their companies in a variety of ways, and even if the reality of time management means that this is an implausible claim, surely they would not go out of their way to sabotage an investee company? Of course they do not. But the effect of the way they invest is to achieve a similar goal. To explain this I will have to digress into a short discussion on share structures in VC-invested startup companies.
