Download or read book Patterns in Spatial Proximity Between Venture Capital Investors and Investees in Germany written by Marko Bender and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper analyzes patterns in spatial proximity between venture capital investors and investees. We use a data set of 950 dyads of venture capitalists and German new ventures which have closed a financing round between January 2002 and March 2007. We are the first study to use minimum travel time via car or plane as realistic measure of spatial proximity. Our results indicate that different factors relating to characteristics of the new venture, the venture capitalist and the financing round help explain variations in spatial proximity. We find that spatial proximity is more likely for younger ventures, ventures in knowledge-intensive industries, smaller, less specialized, more experienced, semi-profit oriented, or lead-venture capital investors, as well as for very small or very large investment volumes. Another key finding is that spatial proximity is more likely for consecutive financing rounds. Furthermore, we find the effects to be more pronounced for lead-investors. -- Venture capital ; new venture ; spatial proximity ; entrepreneurial
Download or read book The Spatial Market Process written by David Emanuel Andersson and published by Emerald Group Publishing. This book was released on 2012-07-04 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Key features of Austrian economic theory are the use of methodological individualism, the view that entrepreneurs cause development, and the recognition that local knowledge is largely tacit and thus difficult to communicate. The contributors to The Spatial Market Process show how these and other Austrian features provide an alternative foundation for understanding the spatial manifestation of economic phenomena. Many chapters elaborate upon theoretical insights first formulated by F.A. Hayek. The work of urban theorist Jane Jacobs, the entrepreneurship theories of both Joseph Schumpeter and Israel Kirzner, transaction costs in the Coasean tradition, and Fritz Machlup's notion of "knowledge conveyors" are examples of other theoretical constructs that are integrated into new spatial theories by the contributors; combining classical Austrian theories with contemporary breakthroughs.

This book was released on 2012-07-02 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hortense Tarrade analyses over 200,000 venture capital (VC) investments over the past 20 years to understand the investors' motivation to select national or foreign companies into their portfolio. She compares the sensitivity of US-based, non-US and German VC firms to the availability of local deal supply and demand as well as the relative importance of their intrinsic capabilities in their investment scope decision ("Why do VC firms invest on a national, continental or global scope?"). Further, she provides an in-depth analysis of the role of geographic and cultural distance in investments by German VCs ("Why do VC firms invest in a target location rather than another?").

Download or read book Finance Innovation and Geography written by Felix C. Müller and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-14 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overarching aim of Finance, Innovation and Geography: Harnessing Knowledge Dynamics in German Biotechnology is to explore linkages between geographies of finance and relational geographies of innovation. This is achieved by questioning how investment activities affect the unfolding of innovations and in turn are affected by it. This book focuses on biotechnology innovation processes from the perspective of relational economic geography. It reconstructs the unfolding in time and space of eight innovations in German biotechnology. Each one is represented in a qualitative case study. The analysis focuses on the relational work of building, transforming, ending and replacing of collaborative relationships and organizational arrangements surrounding emergent innovations ・ including investment relations and relational work by investors. In this way, the contribution of investors to unfolding innovations is studied with sensitivity to context and situated interactions. The geography of these dynamics is conceptualized by drawing on the recent literature on relational proximity and distance as well as ideas of materiality and space. This book provides a unique perspective, and shows that innovation paths are strongly interwoven with local and temporary opportunities as well as crises, and that investment is embedded in these dynamics. This is essential reading for students and academics of both economics and innovation.

Book excerpt: First published in 1990, this is the first text to offer a goegraphicand regional study of venture capitalism. Although the importance of this type of capitalism in creating and nurturing small firms has long been recognized, it does not have a uniform global character. Drawing on previously unused data, Green's book offers a geographic comparison which displays the diverse forms of venture capitalist markets from the well established to the newly emerging and the rapidly dissapearing.
Download or read book Patterns in Spatial Proximity Between Venture Capital Investors and Investees in Germany written by Marko Bender and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper analyzes patterns in spatial proximity between venture capital investors and investees. We use a dataset of 1256 dyads of venture capitalists and German new ventures which have closed a financing round between January 2002 and March 2007. Our results indicate that different factors relating to characteristics of the new venture, the venture capitalist and the financing round help explain variations in spatial proximity. We find that spatial proximity is more likely for younger ventures and for smaller, (quasi)-public and less specialized venture capitalists. Our evidence indicates that syndication is associated with a wider geographic spread of investments and that consecutive financing rounds are more likely with close distances. Furthermore, we find different effects for lead- and co-investors. Finally, we discuss implications for entrepreneurs, venture capitalists as well as policy makers and outline areas for future research.
Download or read book Innovative Start Ups and the Distribution of Human Capital written by Ronney Aamoucke and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-14 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contributes to our understanding of the reasons for the uneven geographic emergence and distribution of innovative start-ups and human capital, analyzing the role of the regional knowledge base and specifically academic knowledge. Using extensive datasets from West German regions and advanced econometric tools, it confirms a strong relationship between the presence of higher education institutions and the emergence of innovative start-ups. It also shows that the influence increases in direct relation with the innovativeness of the respective start-up, and that certain fields of knowledge are more influential than others in fostering innovative start-ups. In a second step, the multidimensional concept of quality of life is used to explain the geography of human capital across West German regions. Based on these empirical findings, the book shares valuable insights for higher education and regional development policy.
