This editorial introduces and describes the recent changes in academia and the entrepreneurial finance landscape. It then investigates the particular role of universities in supporting start-ups, as investors or facilitators of investments. Following this, it discusses the role of universities in democratising venture capital investments, the different archetypes of university investment vehicles, the importance of institutional context and entrepreneurship learning and finally the patterns of internationalisation and funding in academic spin-offs. The editorial also provides some practical recommendations for practitioners and gives food for thought for future research.","PeriodicalId":46643,"journal":{"name":"Venture Capital","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73125297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Nascent entrepreneurship in university students: the role of the context","authors":"J. Leiva, Ronald Mora-Esquivel, Martín Solís","doi":"10.1080/13691066.2023.2171318","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/13691066.2023.2171318","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT This paper offers evidence that the context might influence a university student’s start-up process differently, depending on the category of activities and regions. Specifically, it explores the influence of university and national contexts while considering the different categories of the start-up process. Our approach divides the start-up process into three categories (Business planning, Interaction with the external environment, and Financing), four context definitions (University, Industry-technological, Institutional-policy, and Cultural), and three regions (European Union, Latin America, and Asian-African). We drew on the primary dataset of the Global University Entrepreneurial Spirit Students’ Survey (GUESSS) project that contains 7,628 nascent entrepreneurs from 21 countries, which we complemented with a set of international indexes from the World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Index, the Global Entrepreneurship Index, and the Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness project. Generally speaking, the University context positively influences the start-up activities of students in Europe and Asia-Africa. The Industry and technological context and the Institutional and policy context play a relevant role (sometimes positive or negative) depending on the activity and region. Finally, the Cultural context presents mixed results too, and its influence varies (positively and negatively) depending on the kind of start-up activities and the region.","PeriodicalId":46643,"journal":{"name":"Venture Capital","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78693424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Do foreign and domestic venture capital firms differ in replacing CEOs of portfolio companies?","authors":"Haixia Hao, Lihong Guo, Jianwei Dong","doi":"10.1080/13691066.2023.2218993","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/13691066.2023.2218993","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTUsing a sample of 5,383 investment events of venture capital firms (VCs) investing in Chinese companies between 1997 and 2017, we investigate how levels of human capital of chief executive officers (CEOs) of portfolio companies affect tendencies of foreign and domestic VCs to replace CEOs. We find that domestic and foreign VCs are similar in that they are both less likely to replace CEOs of their portfolio companies if CEOs have higher levels of human capital. Furthermore, we find that domestic and foreign VCs exhibit significant differences in CEO replacement when not considering CEO human capital or when CEOs have lower levels of human capital. Results are consistent with our hypotheses that foreign VCs rely on CEO human capital as a stronger quality signal than domestic VCs, because they have more difficulty monitoring CEOs’ post-investment performance. On the contrary, the geographical and cultural proximity of domestic VCs enables them to obtain information other than CEO human capital, such as CEOs’ social skills, potential, entrepreneurial passion, and charisma, to make replacement decisions. The study advances our understanding of the behavioral differences between domestic and foreign VCs in the post-investment management process.KEYWORDS: Foreign VCsdomestic VCsCEO replacementCEO human capitalportfolio company Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.

Bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees could be obtained upon graduation. Specialized education generally enrolls students who have graduated from high school or have equivalent education, and specialized students can obtain a specialized certificate after graduation.3.

The US venture capital industry, with its unicorn focused high-growth format opened up a venture capital gap. UVC transmutes academic innovation into high-tech firms, industries and regional renewal, filling interstitial funding gaps among angel, public and private venture capital offers. It is a knowledge-based industrial policy by Another Name, with direct/explicit and indirect/implicit versions, on a continuum with variation depending upon shifting ideological and competitive concerns. Beyond as of right “womb” provision, UVC capstones an academic innovation ecosystem of technology transfer, incubation and acceleration, translational research, proof of concept funds and entrepreneurship education. Venture capital, exemplified by Sand Hill Road, de-emphasizes classic regional development objectives, neglecting appropriability conditions such as academic and regional circumstances that UK and China prioritize. More modest firm formation outcomes are dismissed as failures, with entrepreneurs encouraged to return to the entrepreneurial churn. We examine the origin and development of UVC from macro, meso and micro, historical and comparative perspectives. Multi-method/multi-sample, comparative case study, and big data analytics show the constraint, variety, and early affinity of UVC to academic icons with significant untapped potential to inspire widespread economic and social advance.","PeriodicalId":46643,"journal":{"name":"Venture Capital","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89946396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
