Article Abstract:
Venture capitalists may see potential mergers and acquisitions as their goal rather than taking their own company public and careful planning in employee equity compensation, investor covenants, finder's fees and key contracts can increase the return when pursuing this goal. Accounting and tax implications and the decision-making power given third parties in an acquisition are among the considerations.
