Venture capital (VC) firms are pools of private capital that typically invest in small, fast-growing companies that can't raise funds through other means. In exchange for this financing, VCs receive a share of a company's equity, and the founders of the firm typically stay on and continue to manage the company. A VC firm wants management to focus on improving , while the managers may also act to increase . VC investments have two typical components:. (1) managers maintain some ownership in the company and often earn additional equity if the company performs well;

(2) VCs demand seats on the company's board. Management ownership serves to the alignment of the incentives of managers with the incentives of owners.

Answera dnd Explanation:

A. The incentive conflict in principal-agent relationship as it concerns venture capitalism is conflict between venture capitalists who are the principals and the managers of the business investment who are the agents. The conflict is that venture capitalists are put to increase value of their investment and make profit while salaried managers are only out to feel their pockets through their managerial role in the company as they do not have an interest in the company and are unaffected by the loss or failure of the company. This is known as the principal agent moral hazard issue in venture capitalism

B. By managers maintaining some ownership in the company, there us reduced conflict as managers now see a reason to make sure company succeeds since they have an interest

Venture capitalists aim to have a seat in the board to make sure managers do not take bad decisions since they are able to veto such decisions
