Abstract
ABSTRACTThis paper studies the impact of venture capital’s tolerance for technological innovation failure on invested companies’ technological innovation performance using Chinese data. The results show that the higher venture capital’s tolerance for technological innovation failure, the better the performance of the company’s technological innovation. The heterogeneity of venture capital is further examined. We find venture capitals that invest jointly, with foreign-funded or governmental backgrounds can positively regulate the effect of tolerance on performance. However, in industries where innovation is of high difficulty, participation of government venture capital inhibits this effect. Our conclusions provide enlightenment for improving companies’ technological innovation performance.KEYWORDS: Venture capitaltechnological innovationtolerance for failureinnovation performanceVC heterogeneity Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Anhui University of Finance and Economics [ACYC2020409]; Humanity and Social Science Research Project of Anhui Educational Committee [SK2019A0473]; Humanity and Social Science Research Project of Anhui Educational Committee [SK2020A0027].
