Early-Stage Venture Capital in Europe - The Case of
Germany and Italy. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Jan 2009, Pages: 112
Early-stage venture capital is underdeveloped in many
European countries like Germany and Italy. After 20
years of analysis one culprit, supply of funds, is
identified and policy action has been instituted for
change.
Analysis however is limited by lack and quality of
data and a missing industry perspective including
supply and demand.
This study therefore summarizes current research on
macro, micro and policy level and discusses its main
arguments. It compiles (new) long-term data on “true”
venture capital for Germany and Italy, analyzes data
in an industry life-cycle perspective, and compares
these results to those currently referred to in the
literature. It introduces a new measure for available
funds. As a result, it becomes evident that the
hitherto all but forgotten demand side – namely good
entrepreneurs and their ideas - of venture capital
requires much more attention.
This book is for all those, researchers, politicians,
industry representatives and venture capital managers
as well as entrepreneurs who want to seriously
discuss all aspects in order to improve early-stage
venture capital and education in Europe.
