The paper analyzes patterns in spatial proximity between venture capital investors and investees. We use a data set of 950 dyads of venture capitalists and German new ventures which have closed a financing round between January 2002 and March 2007. We are the first study to use minimum travel time via car or plane as realistic measure of spatial proximity. Our results indicate that different factors relating to characteristics of the new venture, the venture capitalist and the financing round help explain variations

The contributors to The Spatial Market Process show how these and other Austrian features provide an alternative foundation for understanding the spatial manifestation of economic phenomena. Many chapters elaborate upon theoretical insights first formulated by F.A. Hayek. The work of urban theorist Jane Jacobs, the entrepreneurship theories

Dieses Buch präsentiert empirische Analysen zur Investitionsauswahl und Wertstiftung von Risikokapitalgebern. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Unternehmen, die eine Equity-Crowdfunding-Finanzierung nutzen, in der Folge geringeren unternehmerischen Erfolg erzielen als vergleichbare Unternehmen, die auf eine traditionelle Risikokapital-Finanzierung zurückgreifen. Die Ergebnisse legen nahe, dass dieser negative Effekt durch die vergleichsweise geringere Wertstiftung von Equity-Crowdfunding-Investoren verursacht wird. Weitere Analysen zeigen, dass die Branchenspezialisierung von Venture-Capital-Investoren gegenläufige Effekte auf deren Fähigkeit zur Investitionsauswahl und Wertstiftung hat. Es zeigt sich, dass größ
