When do venture capitalists add value?
Article Abstract:
A survey-interview of venture capitalists (VCs) and chief executive officers (CEOs) show that VCs not only give money but also actively participate in running their firms. High innovation results particularly from a close coordination between VCs and CEOs sharing the same goals. This suggests that entrepreneurs consider VCs closely involved in the business as more productive. Thus, VCs should aim for deeper involvement in their firms. These results confirm the observations of previous studies.
