초록

창업 초기단계 기업의 주요한 자금조달이나 성장에 있어 엔젤투자자는 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있으며, 스타트업 시장 또한 제도적 기반 마련으로 급속한 성장세를 보이고 있다. 하지만, 벤처투자 관련 연구는 주로 벤처캐피탈을 대상으로 이루어졌을 뿐, 엔젤투자자가 스타트업에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대한 연구는 거의 전무한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 2009년부터 2018년까지를 대상으로 엔젤투자자(개인투자조합, 전문엔젤, TIPS, 기술지주회사, 엑셀러레이터)가 투자한 564개 기업의 재무적 성과(수익성과 성장성)에 대해 분석하였다. 또한, 그들의 투자행태(투자금액, 투자방식)나 엔젤 유형이 기업의 재무적 성과에 어떠한 차별적인 영향을 미치는지를 고찰하고 관련 시사점을 제시하였다. 본 연구의 주요 분석결과를 요약하면 다음가 같다. 첫째, 엔젤투자자의 투자 이후 투자기업의 수익성은 높게 나타나나, 성장성의 경우 자산규모와 매출액에 따라 혼재된 결과를 보였다. 둘째, 엔젤투자자의 세부적인 투자행태에 있어 그들의 투자금액이 클수록 성장성은 오히려 둔화되었다. 한편, 엔젤투자자의 투자방식에 있어 지분증권(보통주, 우선주) 그리고 엔젤투자자 유형에 있어 법인형보다는 개인형(개인투자 조합, 전문엔젤)의 경우 수익성과 성장성이 더 높게 나타났다. 종합하면, 엔젤투자자는 스타트업의 재무적 성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인된다. 특히, 채권-채무자 관계보다는 주주로 참여하여 투자기업을 모니터링 하거나, 투자기업 선정에 있어 더 많은 리스크에 노출될 수 있는 개인 엔젤투자자의 경우 보다 엄정하게 투자기업을 선정함으로써 우월한 재무적 성과가 나타난 것으로 추론해 볼 수 있다. 즉, 국내 벤처투자 시장에 있어 엔젤투자자는 긍정적인 역할을 수행하고 있음을 추론해 볼 수 있다.

This paper examines whether angel investors affect startup's financial performance (profitability and growth ratios) in the Korean startup market over 10 years period from 2009 to 2018. In particular, we consider not only the behavior of angel investor such as the investment amount or the type of investments (stocks, bonds) but also the type of angle investor (individual or corporation). Our empirical results are as follows. First, we find that the startup's profitability ratios are higher after the investment of angel investors. However, the growth ratios show different results in assets and sales. Second, we identify that the investment amount of angel investors negatively affects on the startup's growth ratios. Lastly, we find that equity investment such as common stock or preferred stock and the individual angel investors such as personal investment association or professional angels show higher financial performance than bond investment or corporate angel investors. Overall, our findings imply that angel investors positively affect startup's financial performance. In particular, we infer that the superior financial performance is largely attributed to monitor startups by participating as shareholders or to select more carefully by the individual angel investors who may be exposed to more investment risk. In conclusion, our findings support that angel investors play a positive role in the Korean venture investment market.
