31. Bessemer Venture PartnersのHPから抜粋
Bessemer Venture Partners is a private venture capital firm that carries on one of the
longest-standing venture capital activities in the country. In 1911, Henry Phipps
established what was to become Bessemer Securities Corporation (BVP's principal
limited partner) as an investment firm for the benefit of his descendants, starting with
his share of the proceeds from the sale of Carnegie Steel. Since its inception, a
central component of Bessemer Securities' charter has been to invest in and help
build innovative, high-growth companies. Some of the companies that Bessemer
helped establish or build in the early days include W. R. Grace, International Paper,
and Ingersoll-Rand.
Bessemer Venture Partners continues this tradition, managing over a billion dollars
of venture capital, in addition to the $2 billion of investments outside venture capital
that other Bessemer entities manage.

32. Bessemer Venture Partners is perhaps the nation's oldest venture capital firm, carrying on an
unbroken practice of venture capital investing that stretches back to 1911. This long and storied
history has afforded our firm an unparalleled number of opportunities to completely screw up.
While, over the course of our history, we did invest in:
•a wig company
•a french-fry company
•the Lahaina, Ka'anapali & Pacific Railroad
We chose to decline the investments below, each of which we had the opportunity to invest in, and
each of which later blossomed into a tremendously successful company.
Our reasons for passing on these investments varied. In some cases, we were making a conscious
act of generosity to another, younger venture firm, down on their luck, whom we felt could really
use a billion dollars in gains. In other cases, our partners had already run out of spaces on the
year's Schedule D and feared that another entry would require them to attach a separate sheet.
Whatever the reason, we would like to honor these companies -- our "anti-portfolio" -- whose
phenomenal success inspires us in our ongoing endeavors to build growing businesses. Or, to put
it another way: if we had invested in any of these companies, we might not still be working.

33. Apple Computer
BVP had the opportunity to invest in pre-IPO secondary stock in Apple at a $60M valuation. BVP's
Neill Brownstein called it "outrageously expensive."
Check Point
In 1994, Gil Schwed pitched his idea to BVP's David Cowan, who said that Gil would never get
distribution in the US. The next year, Check Point got a huge Sun OEM deal and sold $25M of
firewall software.
eBay
"Stamps? Coins? Comic books? You've GOT to be kidding," thought Cowan. "No-brainer pass."
Intuit
Along with every venture capitalist on Sand Hill Road, Neill Brownstein turned down Intuit founder
Scott Cook. Scott managed to scrape together only $225K from friends, including HBS classmate
and Sierra Ventures founder Peter Wendell, who personally invested $25K to get Scott off his back
Google
Cowan college friend rented her garage to Sergey and Larry for their first year. In 1999 and 2000
she tried to introduce Cowan to these two really smart Stanford students writing a search engine.
Students? A new search engine? In the most important moment ever for Bessemer anti-portfolio,
Cowan asked her, how can I get out of this house without going anywhere near your garage?

34. Glocap Search 「Private equity gains ground in talent
war - Financial Times Nov 18, 2007」より一部抜粋
Unlike investment banks and hedge funds, whose compensation pool is determined by
yearly results, buyout firms’ pay packages are dependent on the size and performance of
funds whose life spans several years.
A senior associate with less than two years’ experience since business school will earn an
average of $419,000 in 2007-08 at a buyout fund with more than $5bn under management –
a 9 per cent rise over a year ago – according to the research.
But the real lure for young graduates is the multi-million dollar payout from “carried
interest” – the percentage of a fund’s profit retained by private equity executives.
Senior associates can expect up to $5m over the lifetime of the fund but vice-presidents,
executives with up to six years’ experience after business school stand to earn up to $14m
while partners, the top management tier, can make an average of between $35m and $85m,
according to the research.
