Abstract Private equity and venture capital (PE/VC) funding is the provision of equity capital by financial investors to non-quoted companies with high growth potential. It has a particular emphasis on entrepreneurial activities rather than on mature businesses. PE/VC investors differ on several dimensions including: investment targets, screening evaluation methods, governance mechanisms, and objectives. The paper is a continuation of the discussion that concerns investment strategies of PE/VC funds. While studying the PE/VC market it is important to analyze the origin and structure of capital. The authors assumed that different types of investors have different investment strategies. Our research is an attempt to answer the following research question: whether the investor type, on the European PE/VC market, has an impact on the selection of industries. The paper presents results of statistical analysis of venture capital and private equity funds investment strategies in selected countries.

The article presents an overview of the determinants of exploration works and the definition of the role of junior mines in those processes. Junior mines, as special purpose vehicles, focus on the stages of exploration and documenting of the deposits, without going into theoperational stage related to the exploitation. Due to their nature, those entities finance their activities with equity capital in the formof share issues on the capital markets, addressing their proprietory securities to investors who accept a high level of risk. The largeststock exchanges on which the exploration companies obtain the required funds have been identified, and the trends that complementcapital raising, concerning the involvement of private equity funds, have been presented.

Venture Capital Investments

Venture backed spin-offs represent a low proportion of companies, even of innovative companies. The research question was, whether these companies have an important role in innovation and economic growth. I present the most important indicators of innovation in connection with entrepreneurship, the measures of start-ups, mainly the high-tech ones. I describe the position of venture capital industry nowadays, detailing the classical venture capital investments, targeting high-growth potential small firms, even university spin-offs. The study presents the results of a survey made as a counterpart of an academic research team, examining spin-offs, entrepreneurs and technology transfer in the most important Hungarian universities. I found that the most important obstacles of venture capital investments in high-tech spin-offs are the information gap between demand and supply side, the lack of entrepreneurs’ willingness to give up freedom in decision making, despite of low managerial skills. The low quality of financial environment is also an obstacle of the segment. JEL Codes: G24, M13

Start Ups

Enterprise technological start-ups represent the newly created firms with the possibility to rapidly develop and assume liquidity in the next few decades. The main purpose of this mode of expansion is to enhance finance development over considerably limited collateralizable fiscal assets. However, this is considered unattractive from the ancient banking corporations which have now been replaced by more sophisticated and specialized intermediaries such as the private equity funds or the venture capital that diversify business portfolios in reference to their strategies on multi-annual exit with firm projected increment in investment value that endured the Darwinian selection. In that regard, this paper conducts evaluation of firms and reviews their technological start-ups following traditional approaches, flanked based on certain elements derived from multiple-exit methods and varied probabilistic scenarios. The technological footprints showcase the evaluation analogies with know-how, intangibles and patents that are connected to certain sectors.

The Impact

The aim of the article is to analyse the position of the Polish private equity sector as a leading player in the CEE region and to assess the impact of these funds on economic development. It has been pointed out that the fund sector is operating in an increasingly unpredictable environment (which could be seen during the financial crisis) and operates based on demanding regulations and growing risk. The paper presents the role of private equity funds in the CEE region, which by 2004 had seen a noticeably faster growth than in Western Europe, due to the transition to a market economy. The Polish private equity market in the CEE region was further analysed, which as the largest economy in the CEE region is a very attractive place for investors. The conclusions and directions of the role of private equity funds were presented, and it was emphasised that Poland and the whole CEE region are at an early stage of their market development, but their distance to Western Europe decreases from year to year. Currently, the CEE private equity market in the most developed countries offers great opportunities to its investors thanks to high competition, high growth potential and comprehensive solutions.

The Impact

Investments of venture capital and private equity funds are made in young fast growing companies whose founders are characterized by a lack of capital for their development. Fund investment cycle is assumed to follow the process of divestment after a period of rapid growth and dynamic growth of the company. One of the methods used willingly completion of the investment by the funds is to put the company on the stock exchange. It is quite a long and expensive process, however, that the valuation of the fund may obtain a public market is often the highest possible. The process has, however, affected by the condition of the public market and current trends in the market for initial public offering. This is also reflected in the so-called underpricing of the offer or the difference between the opening and closing of the first day of trading of the company. This article aims to analyze the impact of trends on the stock exchange on the level of underestimation of the value of the transaction IPO on the Warsaw Stock Exchange in the period 2000-2013.
