The National Venture Capital Association and Dow Jones VentureWire released the results of Venture Census 2008, the first demographic survey of venture capital professionals. The survey of over 500 professionals found that while currently the industry is mostly male (75%) and white (88%), those numbers are decreasing among younger professionals. It also found that most venture capitalists have advanced degrees and worked in other industries before moving into venture capital. The survey aims to track changing demographics in the venture capital field over time.

Experiences of Novo Ecijanos who were Scammed by Investment CompaniesIJAEMSJORNAL
This study described the experiences of the respondents who were scammed by investment companies in Nueva Ecija, Philippines. The research design was descriptive and the respondents were 50 persons chosen through the purposive sampling technique. The researchers found out that most of the respondents' age ranges from 20 to 24 years old. 70% of them were single, 74% were female, and their source of income was work/employment. They have learned about the investment company through social media and they were not aware that the company is fraud. The majority of them were recruited and the most enticing offer of the investment company is to double their income/profit or double their money in a month. They were bothered by the money they lose but most of them are having second thoughts of trying their luck again in an investment company.

Successful young entrepreneurial innovators have achieved something akin to rockstar status. They grace magazine covers and keynote global conferences, inspiring burgeoning
start-ups and Fortune 50 companies alike.
Collectively, young entrepreneurs are innovative by nature and their thinking is an important source of growth and job creation across the world. Today, with digital tools in hand, leaders are better positioned to expand their businesses across borders, seize niche opportunities and shape the global economic future.
Yet, most of today’s young entrepreneurs want more than status and a global corporate footprint. Their ideas of success arise from powerful social, political and economic convictions.
To find out what really makes young innovators tick, The Economist Intelligence Unit, sponsored by FedEx, surveyed more than 500 of these young entrepreneurs around the globe about their motivations, ideals and priorities. Our survey respondents were between 25 and 50 years of age and all founders, owners or partners of firms with fewer than 500 employees. They are living in North America, Europe, Middle
East, India and Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. We surveyed them on matters of globalization, technology and social values.
We then compared their views with a similar survey of the general public in the same regions. Side by side, these surveys enabled us to differentiate the outlooks of today’s young and innovative entrepreneurs.
Our surveys identified four key mindsets that guide young entrepreneurs: leading with passion; thinking globally; embracing social responsibility; and banking on connectivity. This report explores the similarities and divergences of today’s young entrepreneurs and the general public. It seeks insights into the elements of the business environment that matter most to entrepreneurs, as well as their views on a variety of issues including free trade and social responsibility.

Исследование Insurance Banana Skins 2015PwC Russia
В исследовании Insurance Banana Skins 2015, направленном на изучение рисков в сфере страхования в 2015 году и проведенном Центром по изучению финансовых инноваций (ЦИФИ) совместно с фирмой PwC, участвовало более 800 респондентов из числа страховщиков и сторонних наблюдателей из 54 стран мира. Цель исследования заключалась в том, чтобы выяснить, какие риски, по их мнению, представляют наибольшую опасность для страхового сектора в ближайшие 2‒3 года.
Новое исследование основных рисков в сфере страхования показало, что в число самых серьезных рисков для страховщиков теперь входят киберриски и процентные ставки. Эти риски появились в рейтинге пятого обзора впервые за все время проведения исследований. Таким образом, становится очевидно, насколько большую озабоченность они вызывают в отрасли, если они рассматриваются в одном ряду с изменениями в нормативно-правовом регулировании и макроэкономикой в более широком контексте.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NATIONAL VENTURE CAPITAL ASSOCIATION AND DOW JONES VENTUREWIRE
RELEASE RESULTS OF VENTURE CENSUS 2008
First Demographic Survey of Venture Capital Professionals Will Track an Evolving Industry
Washington D.C., July 8, 2008 – The National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) and Dow
Jones VentureWire released today the results from the first demographic survey of the venture
capital industry. The survey, Venture Census 2008, included responses from more than 500
professionals working at venture capital firms and offered a snapshot of an industry that is poised
to undergo changes as to its makeup over the next several years. Venture Census 2008 explored
the demographic attributes of VC professionals including gender, age, nationality, education,
career path and work habits. It is the intention of the NVCA and Dow Jones to conduct this
survey on a regular basis so that these trends can be understood going forward.
Gender, Ethnicity and Nationality Balance Shifts with Experience
The venture capital industry is weighted heavily towards male professionals but survey results
suggest that this balance could be shifting in the next decade. Of the total respondents to the
survey, 75 percent were men; 25 percent were women. Of the investing venture capitalists (those
who identified themselves as managing director, managing partner, general partner, partner,
venture partner or principal) 86 percent were men; 14 percent were women. Of the other
professional positions in the venture capital firm (vice president, director, CFO, Other), 56
percent were men and 44 percent were women. In examining those professionals who have been
with the industry for five years or less, 77 percent were male; 23 percent female. Women were
most prevalent in the biopharmaceuticals sector where 32 percent of the respondents were female
and least prevalent in the industrial /energy investment sector where only 15 percent were
female.
Of the total respondents, 88 percent of venture professionals were white, eight percent were
Asian Pacific, and two percent were Hispanic and one percent African-American. The percentage
of whites drops to 82 percent when looking at those in the industry fewer than five years. And of
associate-level professionals, 81 percent were white.
2. With regards to nationality, 87 percent of all respondents were born in the U.S. followed by five
percent in Asia/Middle East and four percent in Europe. Of those born in Asia, almost half (44
percent) were born in India. Of those respondents with less than five years experience in venture
capital, 80 percent were born in the U.S. followed by eight percent in Asia/Middle East and four
percent in Europe.
quot;While historically, the U.S. venture capital industry has been comprised of a relatively
homogeneous group, we see a growing diversity beginning to emerge within the asset class,”
said Mark Heesen, president of the NVCA. “As you look at the younger professionals entering
the industry, we are seeing more women, minorities and foreign-born nationals choosing venture
capital as a career. We have entered an era of venture globalization which will require different
perspectives and experiences and we believe the face of venture capital in 2020 will be much
different than it is today.”
Venture Capitalists Are Highly Educated
Venture capital professionals bring strong educational backgrounds to their craft. The top
degrees of the venture professional respondents were: business administration (63 percent),
electrical/mechanical/other engineering (19 percent), economics (18 percent); and biology (10
percent).
Sixty-four percent of those surveyed have masters or PhD degrees. However, 74 percent of non-
whites and 81 percent of those born outside of the U.S. earned masters or PhDs, compared with
62 percent of whites and 61 percent of U.S.-born VCs. Slightly over half of all respondents (52
percent) hold an MBA.
The top universities attended by all venture capital respondents were Harvard (12 percent),
Stanford (nine percent), University of Pennsylvania (eight percent), Duke University (five
percent) and MIT (five percent). While 33 percent of all those surveyed attended one of these
schools, the number climbs further to 42 percent when analyzing just those respondents with
investor titles.
“The survey demonstrates that venture capitalists are highly educated with diverse and advanced
educational backgrounds,” said Heesen. “The success of our industry continues to be dependent
on attracting the best and brightest professionals with business, science and engineering
backgrounds to identify the next big technology -- and then bring that concept to life.”
VC Career Path is Most Often Horizontal
According to the survey, the most common entrance path to the venture capital industry is from
other professions. Only four percent of the respondents entered their current positions from
undergraduate or graduate school. Twenty-two percent were either C-level entrepreneurs or
worked at a startup company prior to their current position; 20 percent worked at a larger or
middle-market company; another 20 percent worked at a different venture capital firm; 19
percent came from law firms, consulting firms or investment banks.
3. Other Fast Facts
Venture Census 2008 revealed a great amount of data on today’s venture capital professional
including:
90 percent of venture capital respondents work more than 40 hours per week; 32 percent
work more than 60 hours each week.
65 percent of venture capital professionals surveyed have worked for only one venture
capital firm; 26 percent have worked for two firms; approximately nine percent have worked
for three or more firms.
39 percent of those VC professionals surveyed work at firms that invest globally.
55 percent of those VC professionals surveyed fell into the 25-44 age range.
