19.1.2015: Venture Capital and Firm Performance

Harvard-Professor Matthew Rhodes-Kropf zu Gast bei den Wirtschaftspolitischen Gesprächen

Venture capitalists and business angels specialize in financing growth companies. Young entrepreneurial firms require more than just money. They can benefit from strategic advice, management support and monitoring to grow larger. Venture capital adds to growth by identifying and selecting high potential firms, getting more of them started, making them grow larger and reducing avoidable business failures. What determines success in venture capital financing? What are the policy priorities creating a favorable environment for a more dynamic venture capital sector?
