Abstract
• Entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) managers capitalize their firms with debt equity investments, or a combination of both. • Equity investments such as venture capital can erode executive control but can enable access to the investor’s knowledge, advice, and networks. • Venture capital can be provided by business angels, independent venture capital firms (IVCs), corporations, or universities. • The sources’ differing investment objectives, backgrounds, and control mechanisms deliver varying levels of added value to the SME. • Companies seeking venture capital should select investors whose objectives, potential to add value, and expectations of control mesh most closely with those of the entrepreneur.
