This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this paper is to understand which factors influence the financial structure of Italian young, high-tech, innovative firms, and to attempt to formulate a predictive model to determine the ideal financial strategy for a given entrepreneurial project. Venture capital is the most relevant form of financing for high-technology start-ups in the United States and is frequently cited as crucial in the technological leadership of the US economy. However, banks are also moving toward establishing a role in capital provision, making innovative offers to meet the financial needs of start-ups, especially in bank-centric countries such as Italy. Is it possible to build a robust and ordered set of determinants of the financial strategy of new technology-based firms? Is it possible to gather them in a model that allows a rigorous analysis? Is it possible to summarize the analysis in a synthetic value of orientation to one or other form of financing? Through a systematic review of the literature and comparison between investors, we have taken the first step toward answering these questions. This work develops a methodology to solve the problem and builds a provisional fuzzy-set based tool to permit the rationalization of the relevant information and effectively support the reduction of qualitative evaluation of complex phenomena into simple and measurable dimensions. The structure of the model is hierarchical but simple. We consider, as the first level of main determinants (sub-dimensions), the figure of the entrepreneur, the nature of the project, the financial scenario, and the market characteristics. For each of these, we provide deep insights about their relation with finance. We have verified the value of this approach in the context of ten business cases, by matching the financial strategies undertaken by entrepreneurs and the obtainable conclusions with the fuzzy tool. However, the definition of a robust, predictive model requires more consistent empirical validation, which we intend to develop from this work.

Book excerpt: First published in 1998, this volume explored the recent growth in university-based commercial start-up companies as a means of applying research in industry and as an alternative method of funding. Blair and Hitchens melded the practical experiences of universities with more theoretical understandings of technology transfer to assess whether it is more effective for universities to make commercial use of their research themselves as opposed to licensing, whether this is an effective way to get research applied by industry and the economic implications of these decisions. Drawing on the experiences of 25 universities, of which 18 are in the UK and Ireland, and including a detailed study of the QUBIS Group from Queen’s University of Belfast, the authors explore universities’ deliberate commercial exploitation of their research through university spin-off companies, the potential stresses on staff who are simultaneously academics and entrepreneurs along with universities’ attitudes to the practice and possible managerial strategies.

This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Successful startups and small businesses can play a significant role in economic growth and job creation. They also contribute to economic dynamism by spurring innovation and injecting competition. Startups are known to introduce new products and services that can create new value in the economy. It is notable that most startups exit within their first ten years, and most surviving young businesses do not grow but remain small. Startups and small businesses face several obstacles to their development. Accessing capital is a crucial constraint on their growth. Most startups and small businesses have difficulties getting the funds they need because of their lack of a performance track record and lack of collateral, making it difficult for lenders or investors to assess their risk. Besides, they are in the early stages of development and face a very high possibility of failure, which significantly raises financing and investment risk.Investment in Startups and Small Business Financing provides 12 thematic and case studies on new methods for bringing private investment (loans or equity) to startups and easing small businesses' access to finance (debt and capital). The contributors are senior-level policy experts and researchers from governments, think tanks, academia, and international organizations. The chapters are authored in a policy-oriented way to be understandable for the readers with a different background. This book is a precious source for the governments for adopting the right policies to develop small businesses and startups and valuable for the researchers in economics, business, and finance.

This book was released on 2021-11-05 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 7.5, University of Amsterdam, language: English, abstract: Silicon Valley is home to 6 out of the 10 most valuable companies in the world and is considered to be the worldwide leader in venture capital. However, at the same time, the area faces the highest living costs and business expenses in the nation. Reports suggest that people and businesses have been leaving the area due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study takes a time series analysis approach in order to determine whether there has been a structural change in Silicon Valley’s startup funding activity during the COVID-19 pandemic. A dataset of 13,350 funding rounds in Silicon Valley from 2016 to 2020 has been collected from Crunchbase. The time series analysis is conducted in R using the Strucchange package and Chow tests. Results suggest that no structural change has occurred in the total startup funding activity or in the proportion of early-stage investments during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This book was released on 2021-10-22 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses the impact of the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in the financial sector. It highlights the benefits these technologies bring in terms of financial deepening and efficiency, while raising concerns about its potential in widening the digital divide between advanced and developing economies. The paper advances the discussion on the impact of this technology by distilling and categorizing the unique risks that it could pose to the integrity and stability of the financial system, policy challenges, and potential regulatory approaches. The evolving nature of this technology and its application in finance means that the full extent of its strengths and weaknesses is yet to be fully understood. Given the risk of unexpected pitfalls, countries will need to strengthen prudential oversight.

Download or read book Technological Innovation and the Effect of the Employment on the EU Countries written by Andrea Vicini and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-02-22 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovation and employment can be a good marriage. Following on from an analysis of the classical economists, the author challenges the old paradigm of ‘innovation means unemployment’, which has dominated the economic debate for centuries. Is it possible to promote technological change as well as innovation and employment? At what point do technological change and innovation become labour friendly? These are among the topics examined in detail in the enclosed essays. This book considers a set of EU countries in which the results leave no doubts: innovation and employment can be an engine for an increase in employment, but the most important thing is the building of an adequate ecosystem. In this global era, national systems and the organisation of institutions (such as centres of education, legislation, academia and research) remain critical factors and play an important role in the success and the failure of innovation policy.

It then investigates the reasons for these patterns on the basis of a qualitative study that includes 34 interviews with investors and entrepreneurs in the US and Germany and an international expert panel. Lastly, it presents a framework that matches complexity factors with appropriate productive signals.

This book was released on 2017-09 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As more and more startup companies are founded every year worldwide, building up one’s own business does not get easier. Since 9 out of 10 startups fail, future entrepreneurs are well advised to take a look at potential reasons for failure and success. Learning from others’ mistakes and studying success stories can improve their own performance and help to avoid critical errors. The academic paper at hand will provide valuable insights for entrepreneurs. It not only states the most important terms concerning startups but also lists the most important factors for a startup company’s success, according to literature review. Delineating both internal and external factors, this thesis not only delivers a synoptic view of potential challenges inside a startup as well as in its ecosystem, but also juxtaposes these influences in opposition. The second part of this paper analyzes a series of interviews with twelve startup founders from three different regions (the province of North-Rhine Westphalia in Germany, Budapest in Hungary and the state of California in the US). Their views and experiences will be summarized and put into the context of their respective startup ecosystem.

Download or read book Technopreneurship Financing and Startups Ecosystem written by Jamal Nassar and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-12 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Malaysia embarks on the journey to become a high-income, knowledge base country, Jamal Nassar's book, Technopreneurship Financing and Startup Eco-System, provides an important reference reading for government officials, venture capitalist, corporates, founders, etc., and must read for universities, students, etc., interested in contributing to the building out of digital economy aspirations. For viewing startups, its important to understand the difference between iteration ('repetition of a function'), innovation ('something new or to a change made to an existing product, idea, or field') and disruption ('significantly alter the way businesses or entire industries operate').To appreciate the road ahead, one must review the starting point, and Mr Nassar's provides a historical context of the multi-ethnic (including ethnicity and motivation/risk taking), racial and religious country and, importantly, linkage with number of scholarly/academic studies on innovation, entrepreneurship and technology, from Ibn Khaldun to Joseph Schumpeter, is appreciated. Although sampling size is acknowledged small and shallow, the 'guts' of the book are the interviews and connectivity to the attributes of a start eco-system within the context of Malay culture, ethnicity, and diversity. This section is the matrix blue-print 'to do-list' for the above-mentioned stakeholders, where vital issues of access to funding (seeds for start-up), markets/partnerships (scaling), mentoring/accelerators (developing soft skills), etc., are discussed in colorful details. It must not be forgotten that VC investing is about returns, as may be 66% to 75% of portfolio company investments will fail, even amongst Silicon Valley VC funds, but there will be 5X (ponies), 10X (horses) and 20X+ (unicorns) returns from the few, hence, calculated risk-based investing worth the returns. Important segway to Islamic finance. The coverage on Islamic finance and funding start-up ecosystem is 'light,' a proxy for the state of the situation, where there is more hype and less delivery...plus an unsettling (preliminary?) conclusion that the 'risk sharing' element (of Islamic finance) is deterrence to providing risk/growth capital for (early stages of) the start-up eco-system. Though, Islamic finance is more comfortable at Series B/C and beyond, where much of risks associated with product (MVP firmly established), operational (process and people in place), market (addressable market confirmed and CAC is manageable), etc., are reduced/contained. At this stage, its more Islamic PE than Islamic VC. Thus, the book addresses, three most important questions would-be entrepreneurs must ask themselves: (1) do I have what it takes to be a founder of a startup; (2) do I understand the process from startup to scale-up, as book emphasis on universities as important stakeholder in start-up ecosystem, is the Islamic University relevant, feeder of educated Islamic entrepreneurs, for the Islamic digital economy aspirations?; and (3) what are venture investors looking for in entrepreneurs (or founders) and the business model?Rushdi SiddiquiMentor - Islamic Economy StartupsQUEST VENTURES
