Abstract

To measure the co-agglomeration degree and spatial scale of venture capitalists (VCs) and new firms (investees), the Duranton and Overman index (DO index), based on distance-based Kd function to determine the distribution of bilateral distances between firms, is introduced to calculate the co-agglomeration degree and spatial scale of VCs and investees. Data from 7,451 rounds of financing deals in Beijing, China, during 2010-2019 was used. Results show the highest frequency of distances between VCs and investees falls in 10 km-20 km. VCs and investees in the start-up stage have higher co-agglomeration degree and smaller spatial scale than those in the growth stage. Governmental VCs and investees have higher co-agglomeration degree and smaller spatial scale than foreign VCs. The difference in the co-agglomeration degree of governmental VCs and investees in different stages is greater than those of foreign and private VCs. Heterogeneity of the co-agglomeration of VCs and investees within different cities needs further investigation.
