This book was released on 2020-10-29 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies diverse categories of venture capital (VC) firms in India based on their ownership type (domestic vs foreign), stage of investment (early vs growth stage) and VC investment team composition (entrepreneurial experience vs investing experience). For each category of VC firms, the nuances in their investment, portfolio involvement and exit strategies are separately analysed. Employing the framework of information asymmetry, the book studies how different categories of VC firms rely on distinct mechanisms such as deal syndication and domain specialization to address the ensuing adverse selection and agency risks. It also delves into the macro context by assessing whether the emergence of VC in India has been driven by 'pull' or 'push' factors. This is accomplished by analysing in depth the supply and demand of VC funds. Finally, it critically reviews the existing policies of entrepreneurial finance and arrives at recommendations for future directions of the same.

Download or read book Venture Capital Activity in India written by Duong Thuy Do and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents new empirical evidence on the certification role of venture capital firms in India, an economy characterized by a high degree of information asymmetry. We first present a detailed description of venture capital activity in India between 2000 and 2012. We then analyze the post-issue operating performance of firms that underwent initial public offering (IPO) firms. Results indicate that Indian IPO firms underperform relative to industry medians in the first three years after going public. Finally, we compare operating performance between venture capital (VC) backed IPO firms and non-VC backed IPO firms. Results indicate that VC backed IPO firms are associated with higher growth rates in sales and capital expenditures and a better performance in operating cash flows but are less profitable than non-VC backed IPO firms.

Download or read book Demystifying Venture Capital written by Mohammad Mustafa and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Venture Capital is a marriage between 'people with money and no ideas' and 'people with ideas and no money'. It is a high-risk investment vehicle with the potential for manifold returns and the possibility of a complete investment written-off. Although it is essentially private money and smaller in size than traditional financing pillars, its impact has been phenomenal, even to the extent of transforming the way we live in the modern world. Yet the fact remains that the business of venture capital is not fully understood by startup founders and fund managers are also not familiar with the inner workings of other venture funds. And, as more public or tax-players’ money flows into this asset class, it begs a shift from the existing esoteric styles to more transparent and predictable operations. It would also be beneficial if the craft of venture capital is well understood by the business community and most importantly, policymakers as Demystifying Venture Capital: How it works and How to get primarily written to address these concerns, and to explain the subject in a nontechnical manner, as far as possible. A handbook for fund managers, startups, academicians interested in the subject, policy makers, and aspiring entrepreneurs, this book is unique as it has been written along with the top 25 venture funds in India as co-authors. The first part builds the concepts and theoretical framework of venture investing throughout the venture capital life cycle, giving readers a robust academic backdrop while the second part offer 25 first-hand accounts of how VCs invest, where they invest, what they look for while investing, providing invaluable insights into the minds and methods of VCs. All in all, this prototype is a first-of-its-kind endeavour to deliver a 360-degree + view of the Venture Capital universe.

This book was released on 2021-03-31 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1, , language: English, abstract: This study attempts to enhance the understanding of the liability of foreignness in the context of venture capitalists, hereafter VC, investing in emerging markets, hereafter EM, by drawing on case evidence from five cases. The outcomes of the study aim to provide VCs with a deep understanding of the investment environment within EM to lower the perceived risks and facilitate investments. The literature review revealed a lack of evidence for the main institutional pressures, their impact on VCs as well as the strategies used to mitigate the impact of the liability of foreignness. The main finding of the study is that a liability of foreignness exists for VCs due to political, legal and cultural pressures as well as a home bias. This leads to an increase in transaction costs. Furthermore, differences in the governance codes and business practices made it difficult for VCs to gain legitimacy within the EM while complying with all the rules and regulations of their home country. Furthermore, local adaptation through the establishment of local offices to gain access to local networks and resources was the favoured mitigation strategy of VCs. Superior firm resources were used to facilitate learning about the EM by attracting local entrepreneurs and leveraging the added value of such resources during negotiations. The relocation of the headquarters from a portfolio company operating in an emerging market to a developed country in order to access financial as well as human resources was identified as a new mitigation strategy.
