Abstract
This case describes the evolution of an entrepreneur''s venture-capital fund-raising from seed-stage financing through later-round efforts. The case focuses on where the ''action'' is in venture finance: the exploitation of social capital by an entrepreneur and investors. Much of the teaching materials on venture finance focus on the economics of financing; while these materials provide useful information about the mechanics of valuation and how to structure venture-capital agreements, they miss the social side of venture-capital investing. The case illustrates the theoretical concept that social capital (ie, a person''s relationship to other people in society) influences venture finance. The case can be used in a class on entrepreneurship or venture finance.
