벤처 기업의 평가와 관련되어 벤처 캐피탈리스트들의 의사결정에 대한 지금까지의 선행 연구들의 주 초점은 벤처 캐피탈의 의사 결정 과정과 이에 관련된 의사 결정 기준이지만, 연구의 또 다른 상호 보완적인 흐름은 의사 결정에 상대적인 가중치와 중요성에 영향을 주는 요인에 관한 것이다. 즉, 벤처 캐피탈리스트의 의사결정에 있어서 인적 자본 요소인 벤처 기업의 창업자 또는 창업팀의 특징이 더 중요하다는 주장과 불확실성을 특징으로 하는 제품/서비스의 특징, 시장/산업의 특징, 재정적 특징이 창업자/창업팀의 특징 보다 더 중요하다는 두 가지 관점이 선행 연구에 존재한다. 그러나 벤처 캐피탈리스트의 의사 결정에 영향을 주는 것으로 알려진 두 가지 주장은 각각 독립적으로 연구되어 왔기 때문에 창업자의 특징과 불확실성의 요소가 결합된 상호 영향이나 상대적인 중요도가 벤처개피탈의 의사결정에 어떤 영향을 주는지에 관한 연구는 거의 없다. 이러한 배경에서 본 논문의 목적은 인적 자본 이론을 도입하여 벤처 캐피탈리스트의 의사 결정에 중요한 의사 결정 기준인 창업자의 특징 중 창업자의 경험(산업 경험, 창업 경험, 경영 경험)과 불확실성으로 발생되는 요인의 상대적인 중요도에 대한 이해를 증진시키는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 창업자의 특성과 불확실성의 특성을 벤처 캐피탈리스트의 의사 결정 과정에 실험적으로 적용할 수 있는 가상의 시나리오를 기반으로 하는 컨조인트 분석법을 적용하여 창업자의 특성과 불확실성을 포함하고 있는 8가지 요인(속성)의 중요도를 연구한다.

In this study, we hypothesized that the needs for start-up support services may vary depending on the founder's psychological characteristics, such as self-efficacy or his attitude toward uncertainty. To verify this, a survey was conducted on the founders of 86 companies located in Business Incubators at Seoul and Daejeon and an empirical analysis was conducted based on the data. According to the analysis, the higher the self-efficacy of the founder, the more active he expressed his willingness to accept the start-up support service, which aims to provide start-up zones to busy areas outside the university. While the founder, who has experienced failure in the past, responded positively to attracting customers located outside the university. The results of this study supported the hypothesis and suggest that differentiated start-up support services should be designed by including not only characteristics at the level of start-up companies, such as industries and growth stages, but also the psychological characteristics of start-ups in important consideration.
