This book is the first study on philanthropic venture capital, a financing form for social entrepreneurs that unites the principles characterizing traditional venture capital with social aims. The provision of capital and non- financial services to social enterprises are of key importance for the maximizations of social impact as both elements enable social enterprises to become sustainable. However, the value proposition of the venture capital and philanthropic venture capital are different; a key issue is understanding how the practices used in the former are applied by the latter. Grounded in asymmetric information and stewardship theory, I build on and contribute to previous work showing how adverse selection and moral hazard are able to describe the philanthropic venture capital investment model. Results indicate that philanthropic venture capital investments are characterized by adverse selection. On the contrary, moral hazard tends to be a marginal issue in the deal structuring and post-investment phased of the investment, with investors acting as stewards rather than principals.

With the resources of both governments and traditional philanthropy barely growing or in decline, yet the problems of poverty, ill-health and environmental degradation ballooning daily, it is increasingly clear that new models for financing and promoting social and environmental objectives have become urgently needed. Fortunately, however, a significant revolution appears to be underway in the way in which social and environmental purposes are being financed. The heart of this revolution is a massive explosion in the instruments and institutions being deployed to mobilize private resources in support of social and environmental objectives. Where earlier such support was limited to charitable gifts, now a bewildering array of new instruments and institutions has surfaced-loans, loan guarantees, private equity, barter arrangements, social stock exchanges, bonds, secondary markets, investment funds, and many more-all of them designed to leverage not just the tens of billions of dollars of philanthropic grants but the hundreds of billions, indeed trillions, of dollars of private investment capital. While the changes under way are inspiring and by no means trivial, however, they remain largely uncharted in any systematic fashion. This monograph, and of the companion volume for which it also serves as the introductory chapter, is designed to overcome this problem, to provide the first comprehensible and accessible roadmap to the full range of important new developments taking place on the frontiers of philanthropy and social investment. In the process, it seeks to broaden awareness of these developments, increase their credence and traction, and make it possible to maximize the benefits they can generate while acknowledging the limitations and challenges they also face.

This paper examines how the venture capital (VC) model is applied to philanthropic venture capital (PhVC). The key aims of the paper are a) to define PhVC and, by transposing its key elements, i.e., quot;capitalquot; and quot;advice and engagementquot;, to provide a clear and precise definition of philanthropic venture capitalists (PhVCs); b) to formulate four main hypotheses aiming to test whether, how, and to what extent the typical for-profit VC model, as described by Gompers and Lerner (2001), can be considered as applied to PhVC as well. By analyzing secondary sources we report preliminary results which show that in the screening phase of PhVC investments and during monitoring activities, PhVCs behave like their for-profit counterparts, i.e., the venture capitalists.

This paper examines the deal flow and screening process characterizing the philanthropic venture capital investment model. The practices explicitly adopted by philanthropic venture capitalists are then compared to those employed by traditional for-profit venture capitalists to understand whether the investment behaviour of the two investor categories is the same. By surveying the population of European and US philanthropic venture capitalists, results suggest that they originate and select deals similarly to traditional venture capitalists. However, they also adopt different deal origination criteria which are not traditionally used by venture capitalists, such as, incubation and direct creation of an organization in the event of not finding a suitable one. Furthermore, screening variables such as ldquo;deal termsrdquo; and ldquo;technologyrdquo; are not considered to be as important as in the case of venture capital.

Venture philanthropy's main goal is to help create and grow stronger and more sustainable social enterprises. In order to do so, venture philanthropy organizations, similar to traditional venture capital, provide the social enterprise with financial resources and non-financial support. Whereas it is clear how much money they invest, there is less clarity in terms of the value they provide through non-financial support, more specifically relating its cost to the impact on investees. Drawing on prior work in venture capital and using in-depth exploratory research, we expand, refine and develop a model to measure the value, the impact and the cost, of the non-financial services provided by venture philanthropy. This model will be tested on a large-scale sample in a subsequent study. By focusing our attention on these changes, we are able to uncover the subtle differences between two apparently similar fields of practice.
