Venture capital commitments increased significantly in 2004, rising 67% over 2003 levels to $17.6 billion. This was driven by strong fundraising in the fourth quarter where 50 funds raised over $6 billion. Buyout and mezzanine funds also saw major growth, with $45.8 billion raised in 2004 compared to just $26.6 billion in 2002. The strong fundraising is expected to continue into the first half of 2005, though some leveling off is anticipated to avoid overfunding. Follow-on funds accounted for the majority of venture capital raised in 2004.

VENTURE CAPITAL COMMITMENTS SOARED BY 67% IN 2004
Firms’ Fundraising Success Expected to Carry Over into 2005; Performance Dependent Upon
Discipline in Staying Within Target Range
New York, NY, January 31, 2005 – A robust fundraising climate in the fourth quarter
capped off the most active year for venture capital commitments since 2001, according to
Thomson Venture Economics and the National Venture Capital Association. Over the
course of the quarter 50 venture funds raised just over $6 billion. The entire year saw 170
funds raise $17.6 billion, $3.4 billion more than the previous two years combined.
Buyout and mezzanine funds experienced an even more impressive boost in activity in
2004, with 103 funds attracting $45.8 billion. These figures represent the highest level of
private equity commitments since 2000.

*The figures above do not take into account downsized funds
** This category includes LBO, Mezzanine, Turnaround and Recapitalization-focused funds.
Mark Heesen, president of the National Venture Capital Association commented that the
strength of the fundraising market needs to be taken seriously.
“We expect the quarterly increases in venture capital commitments to continue into the
first half of 2005. Many established firms are still out there fundraising successfully,”
said Heesen. “But as an asset class, we should be looking for an eventual leveling off this
2. year so that we do not raise more money than the industry can support. Thankfully, most
firms are continuing to raise smaller funds and are staying within their original targets,
despite temptation to take more.”
Venture commitments in 2004 represent a 66.7% increase over 2003, when 135 funds
raised $10.58 billion. Early and Seed Stage funds dominated fourth quarter fundraising.
Thirty-one such funds raised $4.2 billion or 69.4% of the quarter’s total. Fourteen
Balanced funds raised $1.3 billion, 22.3% of the total.
The fundraising gap between these stages narrowed over the course of the year. In 2004,
101 Early and Seed funds raised $9.2 billion and 49 Balanced vehicles attracted $6.2
billion. These figures represent 52.4% and 35.3% of the year’s total, respectively.
Three venture funds raised more than $500 million in 2004. Oak Investment Partners XI
raised $1.5 billion in the third quarter, and was the largest raised in 2004. Two other
funds raised $600 million each – Interwest Partners IX (Q3) and U.S. Venture Partners
IX (Q4). The Oak Investment Partners’ fund is self designated as Balanced, while the
other two are Early stage investment vehicles.
Follow-on funds remained predominant in 2004, accounting for 73.5% of all venture
funds raised. In the quarter, these funds made up 78% of the total raised. New funds are
funds raised by new venture firms, although the principals of the firms may be industry
veterans.

• With commitments during the time period shown
During 2004, the venture capital industry invested $21 billion into emerging companies,
the first upswing in three years according to the MoneyTree Survey by
Pricewaterhousecoopers, Thomson Venture Economics and the National Venture Capital
Association. Though not directly correlated, this figure provides a context for the capital
required by the venture industry.
3. Leveraged Buyout, Mezzanine, Turnaround and Recapitalization-focused funds
witnessed a modest bump in total commitments during the fourth quarter. Thirty-four of
these funds raised just over $13 billion, up from the third quarter’s $12.7 billion.
However, figure for the entire year signified a drastic departure from the previous two
years which were marked by decline or unexceptional gains. During 2004, 103 funds
raised $45.8 billion, a 54.5% increase over 2003. A major factor in the increase was the
success firms experienced in raising mega funds – 11 funds raised $1 billion or more for
a total commitment of $25.8 billion.
Two mega funds were raised in the fourth quarter. American Securities Partners IV
attracted $1 billion in the quarter, while Carlyle Partners IV took in $4.9 billion. The
Carlyle fund was the largest raised in 2004.
Sandra Ribeiro, Research Director at Thomson Venture Economics stated quot; Buyouts have
had an outstanding year keeping pace with the venture capital commitments.
Traditionally, Buyouts and mezzanine funds together outraise venture capital funds 3:1. It
appears as if we are returning to historical patterns.quot;
