Project description
 

While prior research demonstrated how firms backed by more experienced investors on average exhibit higher growth, both in the group of firms backed by experienced investors and the group of firms backed by inexperienced investors there is significant variability in firm growth. The goal of this project is to study when investor experience is more or less important for growth.
