Vesting and control in venture capital contracts
Skeie, David R. (2007)
Vesting of equity payments to an entrepreneur, which is a form of time-contingent compensation, is very common in venture capital contracts.

Wheatley, Anna C. (2002-10)
During the 1990s venture capitalists transformed entrepreneurs into corporate entities, and these companies in turn have funded increased productivity that has helped to accelerate U.S. economic growth.
