Abstract

Today, many countries are searching for financing alternatives which may contribute to the development of an economy. Funds provided by venture capitals may be considered as a vital funding source especially for start-ups. In particular, venture capital investments may enhance the available financing alternatives used to finance innovative business ideas. Policies supporting the capital market development may also boost innovative business ideas since the developed capital markets may attract higher amounts of venture capital investments. Hence, it seems possible that policies supporting innovative business ideas may contribute to this goal by supporting the development of the capital markets. This chapter aims to explain business models, financing alternatives, and exit strategies; give information about venture capital investments in Europe; propose a conceptual model for an improved university-industry collaboration via capital market development; and finally, empirically investigate the causal association between venture capital investments and capital market development.
