Martin Smith: July 2012
By: Josh Lerner and Felda Hardymon
Abstract
Martin Smith, a recently hired general partner at a Brazil-based venture capital firm, must decide among three deal opportunities. Each has different strengths (management, market, and technology) but each has its own weaknesses as well. He must also consider each deal in the context of the firm's situation and his own career.
