지금까지의 투자 의사결정 요인에 관한 연구는 벤처캐피탈 관점에서 이루어져 왔다. 벤처캐피탈이 투자할 만한 가치가 있는 스타트업을 선정하는 요인이 무엇인가 하는 것이 기존의 연구의 핵심이었다. 하지만, 최근 우수한 스타트업의 경우, 많은 벤처캐피탈이 투자를 하기를 원하면서, 오히려 능력 있는 스타트업들은 벤처캐피탈을 선별해서 투자를 받고 있는 현상이 나타나고 있다. 따라서 우수한 스타트업이 벤처캐피탈을 선택하는 결정 요인을 알아봐야 하는 시기가 된 것이다. 본 연구는 창업 초기단계(Series A) 창업가 4명, 중기단계(Series B/C) 창업가 3명을 인터뷰하여 스타트업이 벤처캐피탈을 선정하는 요인을 탐색하고자 한다. 연구 결과, 스타트업이 벤처캐피탈을 선정하는 주요 요인으로는 1) 계약내용, 2) 벤처캐피탈 명성(reputation), 3) 투자 심사역인 것으로 나타났다. 먼저, 초기 및 중기 단계의 스타트업 모두가 중요하게 생각하는 요인은 계약내용으로, 구체적으로는 가치평가 (valuation)와 우호적인 투자조건으로 나타났다. 다음으로, 벤처캐피탈의 명성 (reputation)의 경우, 벤처캐피탈이 지금까지 투자해 왔던 회사들의 면면 (portfolio)과 투자한 후, 후속 투자를 하는 경향 (Follow-on)을 중요시 하는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로, 벤처캐피탈을 선정할 때, 창업 초기 단계에서는 상대적으로 투자심사역의 영향이 컸고, 창업 중기 단계 이후로 갈수록 투자심사역 개인보다는 회사 차원의 벤처캐피탈의 영향력이 커짐을 발견하였다.

In recent years, universities, with their intellectual properties and human resources, become main drivers for technology transfer. Universities in Korea have various organizations to support the technology transfer and commercialization. Among them, a technology holding company plays the critical role to successfully implement the task. Nonetheless, the performance of the technology holding company is well below the expectation of industry, government and universities themselves. The lack of expertises and experience together with the ill-suited government policies could be attributable to the observed under performance. More recently, however, the technology holding company acts as an accelerator or venture capital to search and fund promising start-ups. The university venture capital thus transforms a traditional university into an entrepreneurial university. Focusing on the role of the technology holding company as an accelerator or venture capital, the paper analyzes the characteristics of the university venture capital and the invested start-ups. The performance of the university venture capital is measured and the determinants of the performance are empirically tested. The results show that the co-investment of outside investors and the support of government program, known as Tech Incubator Program for Startup Korea, yields the highest performance. The result indicates that the coordination of the university venture capital, industry and government is the key to the success of early start-ups. The paper is the first to analyze the performance of the university venture capitals in Korea and thus contributes to the literature.

In the past, because Korean private venture capital firms could get government support and subsidies, they could be survived in the market without having required management capabilities, advanced venture investment techniques, and professional supporting agencies and institutions. However, business environments have changed a lot recently. Now, only through identifying the optimal financial structures(the ratio of debt to equity), Korean private venture capital firms can minimize investment risks and ensure higher profits. Since Modigliani and Miller(1958) criticized the existence of the optimal financial structure, there have been numerous studies on the optimal financial structure of firms. However, there is no empirical study investigating the financial structure of venture capital firms. The purpose of this article is to analyze the relationship between firm characteristics, financial security indies, and financial profit indices of korean private venture capital firms. We gathered the data from various sources, including the web pages and the financial statements for 2003 and 2004. By using the student's t-test and the correlation analysis, we showed that there are differences in the current ratio and the ratio of net profit to net sales between new and old korean private venture capital firms. Even though it is known that korean private venture capital firms does not have enough knowledge and investment technique to compete with global venture capital firms, our result show that old korean private venture capital firms have already built some knowledge and understanding of venture capital investing.

This paper empirically examines whether ownership disperses when a venture firm its IPO (initial public offerings). The data for this study were collected from 91 firms that were initially listed on KOSDAQ between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2007. We explored the influence of the underpricing of IPO on the change of large shareholders. The first finding of this investigation is that the number of shareholders of the venture firms who underpriced IPOs still increased after the closing of lockup. This is consistent with the findings of Booth and Chua(1996) and Brennan and Franks(1997). Second, the share of the large stockholders of the venture firms that a venture capital company invested decreased significantly after the end of lockup. Third, the venture businesses with higher ratio of flotation showed a significant decreasing of shareholders after the closing of lockup.

창업자본시장에는 다양한 유형의 자본이 서로 경쟁하고 있다. 과거에는 벤처캐피탈이 정부의 보조금과 지원으로 경쟁력이 부족한 업체도 시장에서 생존할 수 있었다. 하지만, 산업환경이 많이 바뀌었고 오늘날의 경쟁적인 환경하에서 적응하기 위해서는 벤처캐피탈 회사는 필요한 인적자원을 확보하고 경쟁우위의 원천인 지식과 테크닉을 축척해야 한다. 본 논문은 조직상황의 차이에 따라 벤처캐피탈의 인적자원의 특성의 차이가 있는지 인적자원과 조직상황의 특성의 차이에 따라 투자전략은 영향을 받는지 실증 연구하였다.

벤처캐피탈은 유망한 기술력과 우수인력을 갖춘 창업초기단계부터 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)를 결성을 통해 성장성이 있는 중소벤처기업에 투자하고 기업의 성장함에 따라 투자금을 회수하여 출자자들에게 배분과 재투자를 하는 것이다. 벤처투자에 있어 가장 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있는 벤처캐피탈리스트의 업무는 기업발굴, 기업분석 및 평가, 투자심사, 사후관리, 투자회수 등이며 임원급 이상의 경우 펀드레이징(펀드결성)이 중요한 업무이며 투자와 회수 및 펀드결성 등의 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 연구자체가 부족할 뿐만 아니라 주로 투자수익률 등 계량적인 관점에서 연구가 이루어졌다. 이에 본 연구는 벤처캐피탈리스트가 소속된 벤처캐피탈의 조직특성 중 권한위임, 직무적합성, 조직신뢰 등이 성과급 등 업무성과에 영향을 미치는 요인을 연구하고 벤처캐피탈의 유형에 따른 조절효과를 중심으로 실증적인 분석하고자 한다.

Existing research on the investment relationship between venture capital and start-up companies has mainly focused on choosing a startup from the perspective of venture capital, an investor. However, as competition among venture capital has increased recently, excellent start-ups with proven technology are choosing venture capital in reversely. This study investigated key elements that affect the selection of the venture capital by a startup. To this end, we looked at which venture capital company was selected as the final investor for startups that have received investment proposals from multiple venture capitals at the same time. Six early start-ups(pre-series A/Series A) and five mid-term (Series B/C) start-ups were interviewed to focus on the influence of the three elements regarding venture capital - 1) venture capital reputation, 2) relationship between cofounders and investors, and 3) value adding service provided by venture capital - on choice. As a result of the research, the investment portfolio among the reputations of venture capital was a very important element in selecting venture capital. However, it has been shown that the age and asset under management of venture capital are not important. Relationships have emerged as a very important element. Finally, as for venture capital's value-adding services, start-ups in this study did not consider it important. In particular, consulting and monitoring by venture capital has been found to be a burdening attribute for startups. This study suggests implications that can increase the probability of successful investment by venture capital in the investment market where investment competition is fierce, and enhance mutual understanding between venture capital and startups.
