Abstract:

This study used protocol analysis to identify key variables in the venture capital investment decision-making process. The study used a fictional business plan which was based on six actual business plans. This fictional business plan was presented to ten venture capitalists who were asked to review it to decide whether to interview the investee. The protocols obtained from these subjects were analyzed to determine patterns within the subjects' review. The sections of the business plan which were commonly reviewed first were the deal structure, the executive summary, and the management section

This research's aim is to describe the particular features of the venture capital investment process, criteria venture capitalist use to make investment decisions, the deal structure, and post-investment management support in formal terms. Based on these we develop, apply, and validate a real options valuing model against a sample of venture investments made contemporaneously with the research. Venture capital fills a niche in the financial markets by supplying capital to high risk, high growth, entrepreneurial managed and controlled unquoted companies.

Abstract:

There has been a continuous interest in academia with regard to the venture capital (VC) as themain flourishing aid to new business. Nowadays, academia and the public consider it ‘hot‘ to argue and invest in business that define their activities with sustainable goals, and callthemselves ‘green’, ‘clean’ or ‘eco’. Furthermore, circles of discussions about sustainability, triple bottom line, green, clean, eco, and other terms related with positive impact towards society environment alongside financial returns have created uncertainty with respect to what defines an entity as green and how this

Abstract:

This study investigates variability in the importance of investment decision criteria used by venture capitalists in assessing new technology-based ventures and relates the criteria to the subsequent performance of the investment in the new venture. Variability was measured using interval and ordinal scale approaches for both criteria ratings and rankings. The analyses found that the criteria used by venture capitalists form a general hierarchy that is consistently ranked across ventures. However, there are some criteria that do not form part of this hierarchy and whose importance varies

This thesis explores institutions under which venture capital investment operates in China and whether and how these institutions affect venture capitalists’ (VCs) investment preferences, ex-ante project screening strategies, and ex-post monitoring activities in China. Based on an analysis of about 50 unstructured and semi-structured interviews and an examination of more than 800 venture capital backed deals, this study finds that regulations on corporate governance impact VCs’ investment activities in China.

Abstract:

An investors' objective is to earn a return from savings due to their deferred consumption, compensating the investor for the time, the expected rate of inflation and the uncertainty of the return. Arguably, the equity markets in general offered relative moderate returns over the past number of years. Venture capital investments on the contrary are perceived to offer super returns but also bear very high risk. Given the restricted ability of the equity market to produce super returns, the likelihood to include venture capital in an investment portfolio must be considered. Therefore, when consi

Abstract:

Prior research indicates that management forecast strategies affect investors' perceptions of management, which, in turn, influence investors' judgments about the firm. The current study hypothesizes and demonstrates that decisions about the completeness and form of management's forecast disclosure affect venture capitalists' (VCs) investment screening judgments. In an experiment, 53 experienced VCs indicate whether they would recommend conducting due diligence on a new venture. I manipulate the completeness (inclusion vs. omission of quantitative data about the components of earnings) and

Abstract:

Many venture capitalists (VCs) use the “VC method” of valuation where they use judgment to estimate a probability of successful exit while determining the ownership share to demand in exchange for investing in a venture. However, prior models are not aligned with the “VC method” because they do not consider private information about entrepreneurial characteristics, the primary drivers of the above probability, and consequently do not model judgment. The three main chapters of this thesis—one theoretical, one simulation, and one empirical study—examine the venture capital deal process in sync w

After testing US venture capital investments from 1980-2015, we find that venture capital firms invest more in early-stage companies during economic downturn associated with the financial sector. We also find that venture capital firms invest more in later-stage companies during economic downturn associated with the real sector. Moreover, venture capital firms invest more in early-stage companies when I
