Spectrum Equity Investors, L.P.
Abstract
Brion Applegate and Bill Collatos had already started a fund-raising campaign for their new venture-capital fund when the principals of a prestigious Wall Street investment bank asked them to become the two senior partners of an in-house $150 million fund. The case analyzes: (1) the venture capital investing process, (2) the experience, networks, and timing of starting a specialized fund, (3) the written prospectus of the new fund, and (4) the decisions and issues confronting Applegate and Collatos.
