Case: Forte Ventures
1. Estimate the situation facing the Forte founders in April 2001 and the Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) prepared to persuade institutional investors to invest.
2. What must Maclean Palmer as well as his partners do and why?
3. Explain what are the economics of the venture capital business? Presume that Forte is a top quartile fund in terms of performance. What will the cumulative pay checks as well as distributions to the limited partners and the general partners be over 10 years?
