EquityNet’s Original Research Studies

For the last seven years, EquityNet has conducted an extensive body research in the areas of Entrepreneurship, Private Equity, e-Marketplaces, Private Enterprise Survival Risk, and more.  We are often asked what caused us to begin doing what we’re doing.  There was no eureka moment in the shower.   Much of the idea that evolved started with these studies:

1. At the Individual Level – Outlining Angel Investing in the U.S. (Robert Wiltbank, 2005)
2. How Venture Boards Influence The Success or Failure of Technology Companies (Dennis Jaffe, et al, 2003)
