Point Of Entry

Regional differences among industry clusters have long been a puzzle, especially when performance differences are significant. This chapter examines the case of venture capital investing, in which Silicon Valley differs from the rest of the world despite attempts to imitate its model. The point of entry in this chapter is the contract between venture capitalist and entrepreneur. Although such contracts have been analyzed in other research, this chapter argues that the psychological effects of different contract styles are of primary importance to innovative outcomes of entrepreneurial ventures. Thus, it argues that regulatory focus theory, which considers the psychological effects of contracting, is essential to understanding differences in practice and outcomes in venture capital clusters.

Academic Debate

The financing of entrepreneurial ventures has been at the forefront of academic debate as well as policy-making discussion for almost a century. In general, there seems to be an agreement that the risks associated with business start-ups are higher than for mature firms, hence, these ventures will have to pay a higher interest rate than more mature and large firms. In this paper the authors analyze the role of a relatively new form of financing for entrepreneurial ventures – crowdfunding – and how this form of financing is similar and different from traditional sources of finance. The authors are also presenting different forms and models of crowdfunding available on the market together with illustrations from the crowdfunding industry in Sweden. The analysis indicates that the positive effects with crowdfunding are numerous but that the size of the crowdfunding sector is relatively small in comparison with the banking and venture capital industry

Key Questions

This chapter aims to provide a succinct review of the state-of-the-art academic literature on the topic of venture capital firms and their involvement in entrepreneurial ventures. Specifically, the chapter focuses on the relationship between the presence of VC firms and two key entrepreneurial outcomes: (a) strategic alliances, defined as the formation of cooperative agreements with strategic partners for the purpose of advancing the entrepreneurial firm’s competitiveness, and (b) liquidity events, defined as the sale of ownership to the general public through an initial public offering (IPO), or to a specific buyer through an acquisition. The chapter also highlights some key questions that remain unanswered, as well as a few areas of inquiry that challenge our common wisdom and give rise to controversy.
