Venture Finance

Dear Colleagues,

JRFM’s Special Issue entitled “Venture Finance” seeks submission research from different disciplinary perspectives conducted using various methodological and philosophical perspectives. The aim of the Special Issue is to advance communication between academic researchers, venture capital practitioners and policy-makers on new developments and trends in venture finance activity and other types of entrepreneurial finance on a global basis. Topics are welcome on all aspects of entrepreneurial finance including financial innovation and technology, institutional venture capital and private equity, business angel and crowdfunding, corporate and public venture capital, risk management in ventures and intermediation, and venture regulation and law. Submissions can also cover all facets of the venture capital process from the investment decision to exit and beyond, including studies on investment patterns and trends, investment decision-making, exit routes and investment outcomes, role of financial institutions, and economic impacts and public policy.
