Summary Excerpt Details

"The venture capital process can be characterised as involving two sets of key relationships, those between venture capital firms and their fund providers and those between venture capital firms and the entrepreneurs in whom they invest." (Robbie et al., 1998, p. 1) The present work is concentrating upon the latter relationship. More specifically, it examines the effectiveness of pre-deal screening and post-deal monitoring by venture capitalists.

Introduction: This chapter introduces the context of venture capital investments and focuses on the relationship between venture capitalists and entrepreneurs.

Pre-deal Screening and Adverse Selection: This chapter explores the challenges of pre-deal screening due to adverse selection.
