Conclusion
Private equity as winemaking?
“It is easier to pick a good wine if one starts with a list of the vintage years.
As in wine-making venture capital has its good years and of course its bad years.
Sometimes the quality of the year is not apparent until some maturation has taken place, but in many cases the indicators
are apparent from the environment and maturation merely serves to confirm what everybody feared in the first place [..].
Quality brands will always stand out.”
Chris Smart, General Partner at IDGVE, 2002.
