| Abstract: | Lorenz (1989, p5) defines venture capital as long-term, equity-based risk finance where the primary reward for the investor is capital gain. Such funding seeks out and futures high growth entrepreneurial companies which are frequently refused finance from conventional sources (Ray, 1993). Previous research on the venture capital sector has covered such diverse areas as the size and composition of venture fund portfolios, the fate of firms rejected by venture funds and the analysis of how venture capitalists allocate their workload. The focus of greatest attention, however, has been the venture capitalist's decision-making process. |
