of founder–CEO replacement shortly after they invest in a new venture. Moreover, we examine
how the expected time-to-exit moderates these relationships. Our findings show that the
likelihood of founder–CEO replacement upon receiving venture capital funding is significantly
greater if a VCF perceives this company as a potential IPO as opposed to a trade sale, and this
likelihood increases if the forecasted time-to-exit is short. We also illustrate how the breadth of
advice varies as a function of the forecasted IPO and time-to-exit.10aStrategy & Entrepreneurship1 aGerasymenko, Violetta1 aArthurs, Jonathan u/biblio/new-insights-venture-capitalists-activity-ipo-and-time-exit-forecast-antecedents-their-post-0
