History of Venture Capital
• Venture capital is a subset of private equity (PE). While the roots of PE can
be traced back to the 19th century, venture capital only developed as an
industry after the Second World War.
• Harvard Business School professor Georges Doriot is generally considered
the "Father of Venture Capital." He started the American Research and
Development Corporation (ARD) in 1946 and raised a $3.5 million fund to
invest in companies that commercialized technologies developed during
WWII. ARDC's first investment was in a company that had ambitions to use
x-ray technology for cancer treatment. The $200,000 that Doriot invested
turned into $1.8 million when the company went public in 1955.

How do venture capital firms make money?
Venture capital firms make money by collecting management and performance
fees. These can vary from fund to fund, but the typical fee structure follows the 2-

Management fees
Calculated as a percentage of assets under management (AUM), typically around
2%. These fees are intended to cover daily expenses and overhead, and are
incurred regularly.
Performance fees
Calculated as a percentage of the profits from investing, typically around 20%.
These fees are intended to incentivize greater returns and are paid out to
employees to reward their success.
