In the context of Ukraine’s integration into the world market, there is a growing interest in creating a control system for all stages of venture capital activities. The mechanism of effective management of venture activities of an enterprise should become a tool for establishing this system.

The purpose of the venture business is to make a profit on the invested funds [1]. Unlike simple investment, venture capital is the most risky form of capital investment. However, if the project is successful, venture capital investment is the most profitable. Venture investment is, on the one hand, a way of financing the innovative vector of the economy, on the other, an innovative form of entrepreneurship.

In this paper a model of the spatial development of the American venture capital industry is provided. The investment preferences for both publicly and privately owned venture capital firms for the period 1970–85 are examined in light of this model. A median polish analysis of the investment preferences, for firms located in the sixteen largest venture capital centers, reveals a high level of regional parochialism in investment. Differences in risk aversion and industry choice are also found both by city type and by firm type. Implications for local development are discussed.
