 Angel investor plays an important role in the startup ecosystem, and is a factor that fills the capital gap for startups and also brings many benefits to startups when they can accompany and support expertise, management and consulting for startups. In the early stage of establishment and development of the startup ecosystem, the role of governments was important in issuing policies and providing solutions to promote angel investment. For Vietnam, encouraging angel investors to invest in startups is an important policy in developing the startup ecosystem. With research on policies to promote angel investment in startups in some countries in Southeast Asia including: Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia, the article summarizes some experiences to promote angel investment in startups in Vietnam.

Turkey is at its infancy regarding the Angel Investment Ecosystem although it has a huge potential of Entrepreneurial Activities. There exist various alternatives for promoting start-ups or individual entrepreneurs such as KOSGEB, TOBB, bank loans, Incentives of Ministry of Economics, etc. However, those also come with strict procedures and bureaucracy which discourage the entrepreneurs having creative ideas. In this regard, angel investors are seemed to be the shortcuts to the actualization of the idea and the achievement eventually. Angel Investment Ecosystem in Turkey is also advantageous because it is backed up by Regulations published in 2013 (Individual Participation Capital Legislation published on 15 February 2013, in official newspaper of Turkish Republic). In this study, a broad history of Angel Investment Ecosystem in Turkey is analysed to form a pattern on Angel Investors' decision making process and angels' role on the actualization of entrepreneurial idea. We use samples from Aegean Region in which contains high potential of improvement in this Ecosystem. Angel Investors from Aegean Region and the entrepreneurs they have invested on are interviewed to gather information for understanding of how the angels decide and how the Ecosystem functions. Comments on findings and foresights for the future of angel investing in Turkey are presented as the conclusion.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify and analyse the characteristics of high net worth individuals (HNWI) as potential angel investor in Antofagasta, the main mining resource periphery in Chile. Design/methodology/approach Using the resource periphery approach and angel investing, the authors apply a survey to a sample of 37 HNWI in this region. The data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics. Findings Descriptive results show that the characteristics of these individuals do not significantly differ from those exhibited by angel investors in developed countries and that HNWI show a relative high willingness to become angels and to form a network. Research limitations/implications This paper has some limitations regarding the size and scope of the sample. It is a relatively short sample that does not allow to make more sophisticated analysis and it is only regional and, therefore, it is not possible to make a comparison at a national level. Practical implications From the perspective the design of policies and programmes oriented towards the promotion of a high potential start-ups in resources peripheries, it is essential to know what the characteristics of HNWI are and their propensity to become angel investors. Originality/value Research on angel investment has been traditionally based on the experience of core regions in developed countries. This type of funding source, however, can play a significant role in the promotion of development and diversification in resource peripheries due to the limited access that these areas have to traditional capital funds and the orientation of angel investment towards innovative ventures, but studies from this perspective are very scarce. In this sense, this paper is pioneer in this topic in peripheral regions.

Este artigo apresenta um trabalho desenvolvido com 30 estudantes do 7º ano de uma escola municipal de Ensino Fundamental, localizada na região metropolitana de Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, em parceria do Museu de Ciência e Tecnologia (MCT/PUCRS), cuja finalidade foi promover o conhecimento científico por meio de atividades iversificadas e investigar o papel de um museu interativo no estudo das células. Em visita realizada ao MCT/PUCRS, os alunos participaram de um roteiro previamente planejado, incluindo atividades como a observação e/ ou interação com dioramas e exposições que incluíam a temática proposta e a visualização de seres vivos e estruturas celulares ao microscópio, no laboratório de microscopia do Museu. Com base nos resultados qualitativos coletados, antes e após a visita ao MCT/PUCRS, por meio de questionários e uma mesa de discussões, percebeu-se que houve maior interesse por parte dos alunos após realização das atividades no Museu. Desta forma, foi possível perceber que, mesmo sendo essa uma ferramenta pouco utilizada no estudo das células, saber explorar as oportunidades que um museu interativo pode proporcionar é relevante para o ensino de Ciências. Sendo assim, a parceria museu-escola é uma possibilidade para que o processo de socialização do conhecimento aconteça de modo mais eficaz, pois ações em conjunto propiciam aos alunos experiências de aprendizagem diferentes daquelas tradicionalmente privilegiadas em sala de aula.Palavras-chave: Museu Interativo.

The visit made to the MCT / PUCRS, students took part in a previously planned script, including activities such as observation and/or interaction with dioramas and exhibits that included the proposed theme and visualization of living beings and cellular structures under a microscope in the Microscopy Laboratory of the museum. Based on the qualitative results collected before and after the visit to MCT / PUCRS through questionnaires and through a discussion table, it was realized that there was more interest by the students after completion of activities at the museum. So we see that, even being an underused tool in the cells study, an interactive museum is relevant to science teaching, considering the opportunities that it can provide. Thus, the museum-school partnership is a possibility so that the process of knowledge sharing could be more effective, because colective actions provide students with learning experiences different from those traditionally privileged in the classroom. Keywords: Interactive Museum.

Angel investment is important for startups when they are in between the seed-stage and the early-stage because they need funds to grow rapidly. Angel investors, in addition to providing capital, normally function as strategic partners who provide capacity building, management knowledge and mentorship for startups. Angel investors accordingly benefit startups in many different ways, including the provision of funds. Vietnam is ranked third in Southeast Asia in terms of the number of active startups, most of which are in an early stage and therefore in need of funds from angel investors. The paper examines the concept of angel investment and the determinants that impact angel investors’ decisions. The paper then recommends implications so as to help build a mechanism to develop domestic angel investment activities and attract foreign angel investment into Vietnam.

American Research

This chapter is an analysis of the project appraisal procedures in place at American Research and Development Corporation (ARD) between 1946 and 1973, under the management of Georges F. Doriot. It shows the importance of knowledge technologies and administrative procedures in the way the venture capital company dealt with uncertain futures. The origins of these knowledge practices are traced back to Georges F. Doriot’s own views on business and more generally to the pragmatist movement in business administration of which he was a member. The conduct of project appraisal at ARD is then observed directly, and this reveals its reliance on a rich set of knowledge and diagnostic techniques as well as administrative procedures. These observations allow for a specification of the nature and role of imagination in the entrepreneurship and venture capital practices examined here—in particular, its close relationship with organized knowledge.
