Tiivistelmä: | This paper examines the development of effective boards in venture capital (as: VC) -backed initial public offerings (IPOs). It is argued that VC-backed IPOs suffer from 2 sets of agency costs related to principal (here as: prn.) -agent and prn.-prn. relationships btw. the founders and members of the VC syndicate (as: synd/synds). Based on a sample of 293 entrepreneurial IPOs in the U.K., it is shown among others that VC synds. invest in relatively more risky firms. VC-backed IPOs have more independent boards than IPOs with no VC involvement, with board independence being higher in syndicated VC-backed firms. |
