Foreword
capital market in the United States has reached a self-sustaining size and
that it—in contrast to the German one—does not need much government
help.
For Germany, the author comes up with a totally surprising result. Not
the supply of venture capital, which German government programs try to
promote mainly through subsidized loans with low interest rates, is the bot-
tleneck for the growth of this market. Rather, the demand for venture capital
is wanting in Germany, as evidenced by the fact that the already available
pool of such capital is largely not being disbursed. Arnd Plagge concludes
that the German government would be well-advised to abandon its efforts
to promote the supply of venture capital and instead to begin directing its
programs at the demand side of this market.
This main result of an academic study bears an extremely important
message for pohcy makers, which for the benefit of the German economy,
the future living standard of Germany's citizens, and their own record of
performance they should not ignore.

Preface
The next stage of my research again took place at the Freie Universitat
Berlin, where I started to write my master's thesis on "Public Policy for
Venture Capital in the U.S. and Germany" in mid-2003. I finished the work
in November 2003, at a time when I had already returned to the U.S. for
graduate studies at the University of Rx^chester. Also in 2003, I worked as
a research assistant for Caroline Fohlin, whose incisive questions on the ven-
ture capital markets in the U.S. and Germany helped sharpen the argument
presented in this book considerably.
The final impetus that ultimately led to the publication of this book
came from the Kennedy Institute's Carl-Ludwig Holtfrerich, who was the
main advisor for my master's thesis and whose positive feedback prompted
me to pursue the topic further. His constant encouragement to turn my
thesis into a book led me to update and extend it considerably during the
summer of 2005. At this stage, I especially benefitted from access to the
archives of the German private equity and venture capital association, which
was generously provided by the BVK's Attila Dahmann.
Last but not least, special thanks go to my parents, Gertrud and Josef
Plagge, who have always supported me—both morally and financially—and
still continue to do so.

"The venture capital market and firms whose creation and early
stages were financed by venture capital are among the crown jew-
els of the American economy. Beyond representing an important
engine of macroeconomic growth and job creation, these firms
have been a major force in commerciaUzing cutting edge science,
whether through their impact on existing industries as with the
radical changes in pharmaceuticals catalyzed by venture-backed
firms' commercialization of biotechnology, or by their role in de-
veloping entirely new industries as with the emergence of the
internet and world wide web."
It is no wonder, then, that other countries try to foster their own venture
capital industries, often via extensive public programs. Germany is no ex-
ception to this rule, and the first aim of this book is to evaluate public policy
The nature and role of venture capital
The main finding of this book is that the prevalent German public poUcy
of targeting the supply of venture capital is misguided and will not lead to
more vibrant venture capital activity. A thorough review of the relevant
theory and the available empirical evidence reveals that while a strong case
can be made in favor of public intervention, the main schemes meant to help
expand the venture capital market in Germany that are now in place are ill-
designed. Only a drastic reversal of priorities will lead to the desired outcome
of a more active German venture capital market and in turn higher economic
growth.
Before discussing the intricacies of the market in the U.S. and Germany
and turning to how venture capital activity can potentially be influenced,
we first have to clarify what exactly venture capital is and how it functions.
The remainder of this chapter thus sets out to provide a concise introduction
to venture capital for readers who are so far unfamiliar with the industry.
Having explained what venture capital is and how it works in section 1.1 and
1.2, section 1.3 provides a roadmap for the remainder of this book.^
^No attention at all is paid here to the business administration literature on how venture
capital firms work. For an introduction to these topics, see the surveys by Gorman and
Sahlman (1989), Lerner (2000), and Sahlman (1990) for the U.S. and Schefczyk (1998),
Wupperfeld (1996), and Zemke (1995) for Germany.
