VC and PE Funds Do Build Businesses, Says New Pepperdine Study

(BVWire) ? A new study by?Graziadio School professors John Paglia and Augus Maretno Harjoto looked at the effects of private equity and venture capital financing among just over 6,800 small and mid-size business establishments from 1995 to 2009 to find that, after a financing event:

• Private equity-backed establishments generated 129% more revenue growth and 257% more employment growth than their non-PE backed counterparts; and

• Venture capital-backed companies generated 846% more revenue growth and 608% more employment growth than their non-VC backed counterparts.

At the same time, the study reveals that minority, female, and foreign owners are less likely to receive PE financing (12.6%, 3.6%, and 38.8%, respectively) as well as VC financing (34.7%, 22.5%, and 45.6%).
