Abstract
This study investigates the state of the art on venture capital (VC) success prediction and compares it to the findings on general start up performance, and new technology-based venture (NTBV) performance in particular. It is still generally believed that the factors responsible for general venture performance also drive VC performance. This study argues that there is a need for differentiation: VCs and founders pursue different goals, and VC funded ventures grow under different conditions than their non-funded counterparts. Results of a structured literature review show, while team-related predictors have a comparatively lower impact, market related predictors have a higher impact on exit performance than on NTBV performance. Also, VC-specific predictors like timing and distance are shown to have an influence on exit performance.
