Abstract
ome boards facilitate startups with scaling up and achieving exponential growth whereas others leave founders and shareholders baffled on how to get value from them. Having relevant skills, experiences and fitting board processes is often not good enough. What happens inside the ‘black box’ of venture boards, the fine balance of director dynamics and interactions seems to be the missing ingredient, both in research and in practice. This grounded theory study aims to unpack the growth governing mix of director behaviours in the volatile business environment of the UK. The showcased preliminary findings include a more integrative model, uncovering several novel behavioural and interaction strategies used by directors to perform their formal monitoring and informal adding-value roles in the context of VC-backed boards.
