It notes that private equity firms need to better explain their strategies, capabilities, and how past successes will continue.

The Role of Crowdfunding in Promoting Entrepreneurship_Paulo Silva Pereira_vF...Paulo Silva Pereira

Crowdfunding also gives entrepreneurs an opportunity to signal their commitment to potential later investors.

This shifts power dynamics away from large record labels controlling both funding and distribution.

Heated competition to get into top private-equity funds is leaving some investors out in the cold.
Pension funds, endowments and wealthy individuals that invest with private equity are finding it increasingly hard to get into the most sought-after funds, according to data and industry participants.
Private-equity firms, which raise money from such investors and then put it to work in various investment strategies, are generally filling their coffers faster this year from clients. The proportion of private-equity funds that reached or exceeded the maximum amount the firms set out to raise this year is at its highest level since at least 2009, according to a snapshot of funds for which private-equity tracker Preqin has data. Typically, firms put a limit on the size of the fund they are raising, known as a hard cap, at the beginning of the fundraising process. That hard cap generally can’t be exceeded without approval from fund investors.
As of Nov. 13, 55% of roughly 280 funds for which Preqin had hard-cap data reached or surpassed that maximum size. Last year, 43% of funds hit or exceeded those limits.

Venture capital investment involves significant risks as there is no collateral provided and the success depends entirely on the integrity and viability of the business being funded. Some potential risks include investing in a business without proper expertise in its industry, making an ill-advised choice, or unforeseen problems arising with the business that affect its finances. However, venture capital can also generate jobs and opportunities when used to start new companies in promising sectors. Due diligence is important to evaluate opportunities and mitigate risks before committing substantial funds through a venture capital deal.
