Title: VENTURE INVESTING


1
VENTURE INVESTING
Jorge del Calvo
2
  • General
  • Venture capitalists reversed a three-year
    downward trend by investing 20.9 billion into
    2,876 deals in 2004, according to the MoneyTree
    Survey by PricewaterhouseCoopers, Thomson Venture
    Economics and the National Venture Capital
    Association.
  • The annual investment level fell every year
    beginning in 2001, culminating in a six-year low
    of 18.9 billion in 2003.
  • The increase in VC investing in 2004 was largely
    attributable to late stage investments jumping to
    7.2 billion in 2004 compared to 4.9 billion in
    2003.

3
  • General (Continued)
  • After a dip to 4.6 billion in the third quarter
    of 2004, investing in the fourth quarter
    rebounded to 5.3 billion the approximate
    quarterly average of the last two years.
  • The fourth quarter marked the 11th consecutive
    quarter of venture investing in the 4-6 billion
    range.
  • Its a good time to be an entrepreneur. New ideas
    with realistic business models will be seriously
    considered. New companies with customer
    commitments can get cash to progress. And,
    operating companies can access plenty of capital
    to accelerate growth. The watchwords for
    entrepreneurs are potential, prudence and
    patience.

4
Life Sciences (Biotechnology and Medical
Devices Combined)
  • The Life Sciences sector (Biotechnology and
    Medical Devices industries, together) continued
    to dominate the field.
  • The 5.6 billion in the Life Sciences Sector in
    2004 was the second-largest amount for the sector
    in the 10 year history of the MoneyTree. Only the
    6.8 billion recorded at the height of the boom
    in 2000 was greater.
  • Life Sciences accounted for 27 of all venture
    capital in 2004. Thats the second year in a row
    at 27. This, too, is an all-time high for the 10
    years of MoneyTree.

5
Life Sciences (Continued)
  • There are at least a dozen VC-backed
    Biotechnology companies in registration right
    now. More than any other industry segment.
  • And, when it comes to Life Sciences companies
    getting funding for the first time, the 2004
    number of 154 is more than last year. In fact, in
    the last 4 years, over 600 Life Sciences
    companies in various stages of development
    have gotten their first venture capital, so
    theres plenty of follow-on funding to come.

6
Software
  • Its a perennial leader, but tough to pin down
    because of its cross-industry nature from
    security software, to medical software, database,
    wireless, manufacturing and home software, for
    example.
  • In 2004, 5.1 billion went into 862 Software
    deals. The dollars are a 3-year high and the
    deals are close to it.
  • Taking a longer view, Software companies have a
    tendency to get acquired before they go public.
    Still, there are at least 10 VC-backed Software
    companies in registration right now. Second only
    to Biotech.

7
Software (Continued)
  • And, when it comes to getting venture capital for
    the first time, Software is the leading industry
    going-away. The 217 that got Series A in 2004 is
    no record for the category, but its close to
    three times more than the next closest Biotech.
    Over the last 4 years, nearly 1,000 Software
    companies got first-round financing.
  • Software has been and will continue to be a
    driving force in business and in venture capital.
    Software is pretty much the solution to every
    business problem or so weve been conditioned
    to believe.

8
Telecommunications
  • The company receiving the most venture capital in
    2004 was Vonage, a VoIP telecom company. They got
    145 million in 2 tranches paid out in different
    quarters.
  • While encouraging, one big deal doesnt mean a
    comeback for a whole industry, at least not yet.
    Total funding in Telecom stands at an 8-year low.
    And, first-time fundings continue to languish. In
    calendar year 2001, 135 Telecom companies got
    their first venture capital. In the three years
    since, a combined total of 141 Telecom companies
    got first-time financing.

9
Internet-Related Companies
  • This isnt actually an industry. Its a
    cross-category analysis we do that tags companies
    with business models primarily dependant on the
    Internet. 5 of the 10 largest financings for the
    year were classified as Internet-related
  • Vonage meets the classification criteria, 145
    million
  • eHarmony -- a Media Entertainment industry
    company that got 110 million
  • OptionsXpress a Financial Services industry
    company that got 88 million
  • TechTarget an on-line publisher at 85 million

10
Internet-Related Companies (Continued)
  • FastClick an on-line advertising services
    company at 75 million
  • But, even 5 big deals dont necessarily signal
    the resurgence of pure play Internet companies.
    Internet-related investing amounted to around 7
    billion in 2004, or a third of all venture
    dollars. Perhaps not surprisingly, thats the
    lowest percentage since the information
    superhighway began to ramp up in 1996.
  • Two were founded in 1999, two in 2000 and one in
    2001. And now, theyre serious, later stage
    companies, getting serious money.

11
Regional Results
  • Silicon Valley accounted for 34 of the dollars
    invested in 2004 and 29 of the deals
  • New England came in a distant second with 15 of
    dollars and 13 of deals
  • Software Companies received 29 of the dollars
    invested in 2004 into S.V. companies, and Life
    Sciences investments made up 21 of the dollars.
  • Semiconductor companies were third in line,
    accounting for 13 of investments into S.V.-based
    start-ups

12
Foreign Investment - Israel
  • Overseas Investment in Israel Exceeded 4.8BN
    during Jan. Oct. 2004.
  • Total overseas financial investment was 3.6BN
    during the same period, 47 MORE THAN THE TOTAL
    FOR 2003.
  • Total overseas investment in overseas IPOs of
    Israeli companies was 2.8BN, 3 times as much as
    throughout 2003 (Globes, Dec. 2004).
  • 113 high tech companies raised 438MN during
    Q32004, which is the highest sum since Q42001 and
    30 higher than Q22004 (338MN by 91 companies)
    and 55 higher than Q32003 (283MN by 103
    companies).

13
Foreign Investment Israel (Continued)
  • The total for the first three quarters of 2004.
    (1.BN) is 43 higher than the same period during
    2003 (Globes, Oct. 26).

SOFTWARE MARKET

Software Market Observations
  • Software stocks have pulled back after early Fall
    rally, though valuations remain near all-time
    highs relative to growth
  • Longer-term industry fundamentals remain
    challenging with lower projected growth,
    sustained IT customer discipline and heightened
    competitive pressures
  • Oracle/PeopleSoft, Symantec/Veritas and other
    merger activities highlight maturing of the
    software market and need for scale/product
    breadth
  • OnDemand and subscription/term-based models
    gaining momentum
  • Flexible computing paradigms (grid/utility, SOA,
    web services), as well as open source, also
    gaining momentum
  • MA dialogues increasing
