Fairview Capital

by Steven Rogers and Derrick Collins

Abstract

JoAnn Price and Dr. Larry Morse were the first African-Americans to launch a fund of funds in the private equity industry. Their fund, Fairview capital, was created in response to the dearth of capital invested in private equity funds managed by black and other minority general partners. After 20 years of success that came from investing over $3.5 billion, JoAnn and Larry are now contemplating further growth by investing in funds that have no black or other minority General Partners. This is a common issue faced by companies that were created to serve an underserved market; if and when should they serve the general market?

Corey Thomas, the African American CEO of the company Rapid7, must decide if it is the right time to take the 15-year-old company public, as it stood poised to capitalize on what appeared to be the next frontier for digital technology markets—cybersecurity. In spite of positive industry trends, there were some nagging concerns that this might be a risky time in the public capital markets. The company had just completed an acquisition, and he had additional concerns that the public markets may not tolerate the inevitable early losses involved with the new acquisition. Moreover, the company’s principal financiers were venture capital investors, and an IPO or sale would represent an investment exit for them, and their goal is return maximization.

Essence, the first magazine aimed at African-American women, was created by four, young, Black entrepreneurs in the aftermath of massive racial and political upheaval in the United States in 1968. The venture was a financial, branding and cultural success. By 2005, the company was sold to Time Warner, Inc, the largest magazine publisher in the world at that time, for the highest price ever paid for a single-title magazine company. However, there is still debate about whether the last remaining co-founder, Edward Lewis, jeopardized the iconic Black brand by selling it to a white-owned company.

After a successful career in research and academia, Joel Dawson decided to pursue entrepreneurship in the semiconductor industry. As one of the growing number of African-Americans in the technology field, Joel Dawson co-founded Eta Devices in 2010 based on new technology developed at MIT to improve the efficiency of radio transmitter devices. Several years later, following the creation of a successful company, Dawson is now faced with the decision of should he sell Eta Devices? And if he decides to do so, what should be his asking price and terms? This case focuses on the exit stage of entrepreneurship and how to make rational decisions using tools such as decision trees.
