Research study notes impact of venture capital on U.S. economy
Venture Impact is an overview of IHS Global Insight’s research into the impact of venture 
capital-backed companies on the U.S. economy. The NVCA commissions this study every two years to help illustrate the significant amounts of jobs, revenue and overall growth
impetus that innovative companies with venture backgrounds provide across the country. In addition to providing funding, venture investors also instill their portfolio companies with a
number of key cultural practices and traits that keep them growing over the long-term. These
include an appreciation for continuous R&D, the habit of setting and reaching milestones, strong corporate governance practices, the ability to pivot in uncertain markets and adjust business plans when needed, and a global approach to operations. These tenets drive companies during their formative years with venture backers and remain integral parts of their DNA long after – often enabling them to grow faster and longer than their non-venture counterparts.
