  • Masters in Management in Entrepreneurship and New Venture Management
    MASTERS IN MANAGEMENT IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND NEW VENTURE MANAGEMENT Research Title: The nexus between entrepreneurship theory and venture capital financing decisions in South Africa Violet S’phiwe Buluma Student Number: 693690 BUSA 7044 Supervisor: Dr Jose Barreira Date of submission: 20 June 2017 ABSTRACT This explorative study examines the decision making criteria at the screening stage by venture capital firms in South Africa. The study also probes into the decision making criteria on the personality side and whether that has any association with the “big five” characteristics. A three- section questionnaire including both Likert style type (decision making and short version of big five) and nominal questions was sent to venture capital firms. Logistic regression as well as correlation analysis was run on the data. The findings were that individual attributes (entrepreneurs’ characteristics and experience) environment, industry and macro economic environment (characteristics of product and services, characteristics of the market and financial considerations) are all positively related to venture capital firms’ decision to grant finance to an entrepreneur. Findings on the big five characteristics are that only openness to experience, consientiousness and extrarversion were seen as critical considerations by venture capital firms, but not agreeableness and emotional stability characteristics. The study findings are beneficial for entrepreneurs and venture capital firms. Key words – Venture capital, investment criteria, big five personality, entrepreneurship, access to finance 2 DECLARATION I Violet S’phiwe Buluma declare that the research work reported in this dissertation is my own, except where otherwise indicated in references and acknowledgements. It is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Masters of Management in Entrepreneurship and New Venture Management at the University of the Witwatersrand.

  • Venture-Capital Syndicates' Collaborative Experience and Start-Up
    Academy of Management Journal The Past Is Prologue? Venture-Capital Syndicates’ Collaborative Experience and Start-Up Exits Journal: Academy of Management Journal Manuscript ID AMJ-2019-1312.R3 Manuscript Type: Revision Financing of new ventures < Entrepreneurship < Topic Areas, Keywords: Interorganizational linkages < Organization and Management Theory < Topic Areas, Network theory < Theoretical Perspectives Past research has produced contradictory insights into how prior collaboration between organizations—their relational embeddedness— impacts collective collaborative performance. We theorize that the effect of relational embeddedness on collaborative success is contingent on the type of success under consideration, and we develop a typology of two kinds of success. We test our hypotheses using data from Crunchbase on a sample of almost 11,000 U.S. start-ups backed by venture-capital (VC) firms, using the VCs’ previous collaborative experience to predict the Abstract: type of success that the start-ups will experience. Our findings indicate that, as prior collaborative experience within a group of VCs increases, a jointly funded start-up is more likely to exit by acquisition (which we call a focused success); with less prior experience among the group of VCs, a jointly funded start-up is more likely to exit by IPO (a broadcast success). Our results deepen understanding of the connections between organizational performance and collaboration networks, contributing to entrepreneurship research on the role of investors in technology ventures.
