Abstract:

 The paper agreed with evidence that angel-funded startup companies are less likely to fail than companies that rely on other forms of initial financing. When a venture approaches the venture capitalist firms, the venture is going to do more than negotiating about the financial terms. Apart from the financial resources these firms are offering; the Venture Capitalist-firm also provides potential expertise the venture is lacking, such as legal or marketing knowledge. The exist procedure of a deal was found to be an important consideration for both the entrepreneur and the venture capitalist. Exits can take several forms and can be spread out over several years, based on the structure of each deal and the performance of the venture company. At the outset each deal is considered on the basis, that in 4 to 7 years there will be an Initial Public Offering (IPO) or strategic purchase of the company by a third party. These are generally the preferred exit methods, since they usually offer the highest rate of return. Therefore, we concluded that the positive impact of venture capital is indeed driven by the funding and managerial support provided by venture capitalists.
