Abstract:
This dissertation examines the role of public investments in inducing small firms to develop risky, early-stage technologies. It contributes to expanding our understanding of the consequences of research, innovation, and entrepreneurship policies and programs by investigating in more depth the effect of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program on the innovation effort, ability to attract external capital, and other metrics of post-entry performance of small business start-ups using a new sample and estimation approach. Unlike prior R&D subsidy studies that concentrated almost e

Abstract:
The decreasing numbers of investments in early-stage start-ups indicate that fewer start-ups might become scale-ups and later sustainable business, affecting the eco- nomical development. Early-stage investment actors such as venture capital firms (VCs), incubators and business angels select and support investment in different ways. The VC and investment research mostly regards later-stage team and idea focused strategies. The thesis investigates what characterises and what is important for the early-stage process and selection of tenants pursued, through the investment process at the VC start

Abstract:
This analysis examines the impact that personal characteristics like gender, race, years participating in the labor force, education, and previous entrepreneurship have on the amount of funding a startup receives from venture capital investors. Data for the analysis is taken from online venture capital database, Crunchbase, and includes investments made by venture capitalists between the years of 2002 and 2014. Findings from the regression analysis conclude that gender, the number of years a founder has been in the labor force, and a founder’s education background are significant determinants

Early-stage investors increasingly impact the surging video game industry. Thus, understanding their thought processes provides vital insight for entrepreneurs. This thesis explores how early-stage investors assess investment opportunities in the Swedish game industry by presenting semistructured interviews with three prominent angel investors. Thematic analysis was performed on the interview data to extract significant themes regarding investors’ thought processes. Themes were then contrasted with previous research on investor decision-making to establish emergent patterns in the game industr

Using a human capital perspective, this study investigates the relationship between the specific human capital of the top management teams of venture capital firms (VCFs) and the firms’ investment performance. The results of this study demonstrate that, in the early-stage information technology and communication (ICT) industry, VCFs’ technological expertise strongly predict better venture capital firm performance in the form of greater portfolio exit ratio.

However, ESG is a relatively new and complex research area in which ignorance and measurement problems have led to inconsistency in applications of ESG concepts and strategies.

Abstract:
The lack of coherent and established methods and processes for evaluating early-stage development projects presents a severe challenge for both investors and entrepreneurs. For investors, the lack of an established process risks making every investment decision “ad hoc”, and in the long run prevent any meaningful analysis or comparison between different investments. For the entrepreneur, it makes the fundraising process a maze of seemingly random information requests from potential investors and a constant lack of understanding of where in the process they are, what is required to reach a deci

This investigation analyzes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on venture capitals' investment levels, including American and European venture capital firms. By employing regression analysis, it is found that venture capitals lowered their investment levels by 2.5% due to the macroeconomic shock and the uncertainty caused by the pandemic. When comparing regions, the virus's impact is more severe in the European countries, accounting for a 4% decrease in the raised amount, while American deals did not present a significant change.

This study investigates how venture capitalists in China make early-stage investment decisions under uncertainty. Within this context, it examines why early-stage venture capitalists use effectuation (involving emergent strategy) in contrast to prediction (concerned with planned strategy) and how the experts and novices differ in their use of effectuation. Venture capital is important for entrepreneurship development. The topic of how venture capitalists make investment decisions has attracted extensive research efforts over the last few decades.

This paper studies the potential of ESG investment criteria as financial markets are no longer primarily driven by financial returns. Hence, SRI and ESG are becoming an integral part in the investment decision. VC firms have the opportunity to finance global market leaders who will drive the sustainable transformation. Considering the limited number of scientific publications in this field, this paper aims to demonstrate the status quo of ESG investment and portfolio management in VC funds.
