Venture Capital Funding. ‌ Venture capital investors are often regarded as pure financial intermediaries (Sapienza and Xxxxxxx 1989), who provide equity financing to entrepreneurial firms in order to realise extraordinary profits when exiting the business via initial public offering, trade sale, or secondary buyout.

A serial entrepreneur and CEO of a mobile software company comments on the relationship to VCs in the following quote. The value added by venture capitalists is especially effective if their contribution is complementary to the start-up’s own organisational learning capabilities. From a dynamic capabilities perspective, venture capitalists could act as catalysts with respect to strategy formation by strengthening the firm's resource base (Wijbenga, Postma, xxx Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx et al. 2003). The positive influence of equity investors on entrepreneurial firms has found empirical support in a recent study (Hellmann and Puri 2002), based on a survey of venture-backed start-up companies located in the ...
