  • Trends of Venture Capital Internationalisation the Impact of a Technology Ecosystem on Early Stage Cross- Border Investments
    Trends of Venture Capital Internationalisation The impact of a technology ecosystem on early stage cross- border investments . AUTHOR Anna Ahlm TUTOR Conny Overland Spring term 2014 FEA50E Degree Project in Business Administration for Master of Science in Business and Economics, 30 credits Abstract The venture capital industry has grown rapidly in the last decades to become an important source of financing for entrepreneurs. While research suggests that venture capital investments are more likely to be successful if done in close geographic proximity to the venture capital firm, there is clearly a trend of increasing international investments. This thesis looks at the venture capital community in New York to understand venture capital as a part of the development of New York’s technology cluster, and to understand venture capitalists view on cross-border investments. By applying the ecosystem resource perspective model, the study finds that venture capitalists have a strong influence on the technology ecosystem in New York, due to its large financial sector. The study also finds that ecosystem sub-sectors have developed by applying technology to the dominating business sectors in New York. The study also identifies a “reverse internationalisation”, whereby companies founded abroad relocate to New York at earlier stages in their development, as the growth of the New York ecosystem has increased its attractiveness to foreign founded companies. While the empirical results confirm an increasing interest for cross-border investing, the increased supply of early stage investment opportunities (U.S. and foreign founded) creates a strong incentive for a local investment strategy. Further, the study finds that venture capitalists mitigate the risks associated with cross-border investments by establishing funds in specific regions of interest, and by co- investing with local partners.

  • 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.
