The challenge of investing in early-stage, high-technology companies is shaped by the problems of uncertainty, information asymmetry and opportunism. Virtually all important decisions, and potential outcomes, that bear on a company's success remain in the future - with most of the uncertainties affecting the company's success or failure.
