Venture capital performance showed continued positive growth in Q3 2004, with double-digit returns for 5, 10, and 20-year horizons of 10.5%, 26.9%, and 15.8% respectively. Long-term private equity returns were also positive for all periods. Both asset classes continued to outperform the NASDAQ and S&P 500 indexes. The improvements are due to strengthening exit markets for venture-backed companies, with 24 IPOs and 83 acquisitions in Q3 2004. While some funds experienced losses from the 1999-2000 tech bubble, overall returns are expected to continue improving as post-bubble investments outweigh remaining troubled investments.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

2. “The past few quarters have shown a vast improvement over previous time periods as venture capital firms have already written down most of their
valuations and are reaping the benefits of the improving exit markets,” said Sandra Ribeiro, Research Director at Thomson Venture Economics.
“Since the tech bubble, VC’s have refocused their attention to later stage and balanced deals, which are now yielding the higher returns in the
short-term.”
The gradual improvement is reflective of a strengthening exit market for venture-backed companies. During the third quarter, there were 24
venture-backed IPOs, including Google, and 83 companies were acquired. Consequently, within the venture capital asset class, each time horizon
through the third quarter showed improvement over the second quarter with the exception of the 5-year return. This decline was attributable to
losses realized by certain funds that invested during the 1999-2000 tech bubble. The venture capital three year return continued to improve, but
remained negative due to additional write-downs of investments made at the end of the tech bubble period. The three year return over the next
few periods should continue towards the positive mark as post-bubble activities begin to overshadow the remaining troubled investments. The
negative short term returns for early stage funds were not unexpected as many of the portfolio companies in these funds are still embryonic. The
negative returns in the first few years of an early stage fund are the result of the J-curve effect.
“The last several quarters have told a very consistent story about what is happening in the venture capital asset class,” said Mark Heesen, president
of the NVCA. “The mistakes made during the tech bubble are working their way out of the system but are well-balanced by today’s market which
is getting healthier each quarter. Long term, venture capital will always be a tough asset class to beat as it consistently outperforms other
investment options. We expect demand to participate will remain high.”
