Hey guys,
Just been doing a lot of research about venture capital and private equity lately, and haven't really come across this. Most of the pros/cons arguments, are from the entrepreneurs point of view. But I'm more looking for what are the pros/cons when you're the investor.
Example. If I owned 10% of 10 companies. If any of the companies grew, my 10% value would go up. If they go down, the value of that 10% recedes. But I'm thinking more of the non-monetary pros/cons. Legalities if you will. If something extremely negative happens with one of those companies that brings about lawsuits or government involvement or the like, how much would your 10% be involved in that, and how would/do you deal with that as an investor?
