초록

벤처캐피탈 시장에서 기업벤처캐피탈(CVC)의 중요성에도 불구하고 국제 CVC 투자에 대한 학술적 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 벤처기업은 국내 CVC 투자를 유치하는 경우보다 국제 CVC 투자를 유치하는 경우 지리적 및 문화적 거리로 인해 기술 유출의 위험을 더 크게 인식한다. 특히 벤처기업은 파트너 불확실성이 높은 CVC 투자를 받지 않으려는 성향을 보이기 때문에 본 연구는 국제 CVC 투자가 발생할 가능성은 후속라운드로 갈수록, 벤처기업이 속한 산업의 지적재산권 보호 수준이 높을수록, 그리고 기업투자자가 벤처기업의 잠재적 경쟁자가 아닐수록 증가할 것으로 예상한다. 추가적으로 본 연구는 벤처기업의 보완적 자원에 대한 필요성이 국제 CVC 투자에서 발생하는 파트너 불확실성에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 살펴보고자 한다. 이를 위해 1994년에서 2009년 사이 미국에서 발생한 2,873 건의 CVC 투자 건수를 분석하였다. 그 결과 벤처기업의 지적재산권 보호수준과 기업투자자와의 산업 비관련성이 국제 CVC 투자에서의 파트너 불확실성을 감소시키는 영향이 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 이 요인들의 영향은 벤처기업이 어떤 보완적 자산을 필요로 하는지에 따라 강화되기도 혹은 약화되기도 함을 살펴볼 수 있었다.

Despite the growing importance of corporate venture capital (CVC) in the venture capital market, little scholarly attention has been devoted to cross-border CVC investment. Venture firms perceive higher risks of technology leakage in cross-border CVC investment than they do in domestic CVC investment due to geographical and cultural disparity. Given that venture firms would not receive CVC investment in the presence of the partner uncertainty, we argue that the likelihood of cross-border CVC investment increases with the strength of intellectual property protection (IPP) regime, the investment timing (i.e. funding round number), and the industry unrelatedness with the corporate investor. Additionally, we investigate how the venture firm's complementary resource need interact with the partner uncertainty in decisions for cross-border CVC investment. By examining 2,873 CVC investment transactions in the period 1994-2009, we found supporting evidence for the strength of IPP regime and the industry unrelatedness in mitigating the partner uncertainty of foreign corporate investors. However, the effectiveness of these factors is moderated by the type of resources that the venture firms need from the foreign corporate investors.
