The research readings listed here revolve around one of Venture Forward’s four mission pillars: Research – conducting and sharing meaningful research on VC trends and impact. In curating these materials, we prioritize readings that provide industry insights with data and analysis or durable information, as opposed to opinion pieces or non-data-driven commentary.

This is not an exhaustive list of readings or research resources available, but rather, one focused on providing meaningful, long-term value.

If you have a suggestion for reading material or research resources that meets our criteria, please reach out to Rhianon Anderson at rhianon@ventureforward.org.

Why is advancing the next era of venture capital important?

Venture capital is an American national treasure. It has fueled the advancement of innovation, economies, and people. It has created value, jobs, wealth, and life-changing products and services. Though venture capital as an industry may be young and as an asset class may be small, high-growth startups and their long-term investors have truly changed the world.

To continue the success of the industry’s past 50 years to the next 50 years and beyond, we must expand opportunities for people of all backgrounds to access the venture ecosystem and thrive. We must educate future leaders on best practices and help them learn from the industry’s rich history. We must help firms build strong, healthy cultures and values. We must keep the public and ecosystem informed through qualitative and quantitative insights.

By investing in tomorrow’s leaders today, we shape the next era of venture capital.
