Venture capitalists and chief executives of venture-backed companies don’t exactly see eye-to-eye when it comes to their respective roles as board members. But they do generally agree on the strategic objectives for the companies they’re building, according to a new study due out today that offers a revealing look inside the boardroom. The “A Seat at the Table Study,” a follow-up to the 2006 survey conducted by the National Venture Capital Association and venture-capital research firm Dow Jones VentureSource, also shows that VCs and CEOs are spending more time these days in the boardroom as they weigh heavy issues in the face of a punishing economy. The survey (see charts below) was sent out in October and the results are based on 317 replies from venture capitalists and 211 responses from CEOs of venture-backed companies. - Steve Woda
