The inherited passion for “entrepreneurship” drives families to invest in future creative businesses via private equity and venture capital, linking their past entrepreneurial success to future entrepreneurial excellence, whether inside or outside the original realm of the family. As the family owner transfers entrepreneurship to the next generations, this is often embodied by the creation of new family businesses or by supporting external ventures. Yet, a great entrepreneur does not automatically become a good investor.
Many family business owners’ ambition is to go beyond their legacy industry and thus climb up a steep learning curve to become professional investors. Oftentimes, their initial footsteps in PEVC see them rely on own network and instinct before making an investment decision.
