Abstract

Venture capital invests the necessary capital and supports management and technology in promising small and medium-sized venture companies in the early stages of start-up with promising technology and excellent manpower. It plays a role as a key player in the venture ecosystem that realizes profits by collecting the investment through various means after growth. Venture capital's job is to recruit various investors(LPs) to invest in small and medium-sized venture companies with growth potential through the formation of venture investment funds, and to collect investment as companies grow, distribute and reinvest. The main tasks of venture capitalists, which play the most important role in venture investment, are finding promising companies, corporate analysis and evaluation, investment screening, follow-up management, and investment recovery. Venture capital's success indicators are fund formation and return on investment, and venture capitalists are rewarded with annual salary, performance-based incentive, and promotion with work performance such as investment, exit, and fund formation. Compared to the recent rapidly growing venture investment market, investment manpower is insufficient, and venture capital is making great efforts to foster manpower and establish infrastructure and systems for long-term service, but research has been conducted mainly from a quantitative perspective. Accordingly, this study aims to empirically analyzed the impact of investment experience, delegation of authority, job fit, and peer relationships on fund formation and return on investment according to the characteristics of the venture capital industry. The results of these empirical studies suggested that future venture capital needs a job environment and manpower operation strategy so that venture capitalists with high job fit and investment experience can work for a long time.

벤처캐피탈은 유망한 기술력과 우수인력을 갖춘 창업 초기 단계부터 성장단계의 유망 중소벤처기업에 필요한 자본을 투자하고 경영 및 기술 등을 지원하여 성장 이후 다양한 수단을 통해 투자금을 회수하여 이익을 실현하는 벤처생태계의 핵심주체로서의 역할을 하고 있다. 벤처캐피탈의 업무는 다양한 출자자(LP)를 모집하여 벤처투자조합(펀드)을 결성을 통해 성장성이 있는 중소벤처기업에 투자하고 기업이 성장함에 따라 투자금을 회수하여 출자자들에게 배분과 재투자를 하는 것이다. 벤처투자에 있어 가장 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있는 벤처캐피탈리스트의 주요 업무는 유망기업발굴, 기업분석 및 평가, 투자심사, 사후관리, 투자회수 등이며 특히 임원급 이상의 경우 펀드레이징(펀드결성)이 중요한 업무이다. 벤처캐피탈의 성공지표는 펀드결성과 투자수익률에 있으며 벤처캐피탈리스트는 투자와 회수 및 펀드결성등의 업무성과로 연봉, 성과급, 승진 등 보상이 이루어지고 있다. 최근 급격히 성장하는 벤처투자시장에 비해 투자인력은 부족하며 이에 투자성과 제고를 위해 인력양성과 장기근속을 위한 인프라와 시스템을 갖추기 위해 벤처캐피탈은 많은 노력을 하고 있으나 다른 산업에 비해 벤처캐피탈 산업의 연구 자체가 부족할 뿐만 아니라 주로 계량적인 관점에서 연구가 이루어졌다. 이에 본 연구는 벤처캐피탈의 투자 경험, 권한위임, 직무적합성, 동료 관계 등이 펀드결성과 투자수익률에 미치는 영향력을 연구하고 실증적인 분석하였으며, 투자 경험이 많을수록, 권한위임이 클수록, 직무적합성이 높을수록 동료 관계가 좋을수록 투자성과에 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤다. 이러한 실증연구 결과는 향후 벤처캐피탈은 직무적합성이 높고 투자 경험이 많은 벤처캐피탈리스트가 장기근속을 할 수 있도록 직무환경 조성과 인력운영 전략이 필요하다는 시사점을 제시하였다.
