Abstract

The extraordinary success of several venture-capital-backed firms such as Apple, Federal Express, Intel and Microsoft has spurred academic and policy discussion on venture capital finance. The academic discussion has spurred knowledge creation about venture capital finance, while the policy discussion has centred on the role of venture capital finance as a prerequisite for productivity and employment growth. The role of venture capital finance in facilitating employment and productivity growth has made venture capital a major target of European governments’ financial market policies. European governments have made a variety of attempts to facilitate young high-technology firms’ access to equity capital by improving the regulatory conditions venture capital companies face and by granting rather generous subsidies.
