Venture capital goes global
28/02/2007. Source:Deloitte.
 Venture capital investors traditionally focus on opportunities in their local markets. Yet as the economy has become more global so has business investment. While globalisation is unpredictable, more and more VC firms see a bright future where potential rewards significantly outweigh the risks. This Global Venture Capital Survey measures the investment attitudes and intentions of venture capitalists around the world, examining views on target geographies and sectors over the next five years.
Among the key findings from the 2005 Global Venture Capital survey are:
U.S. firms are leading the charge, particularly in the key emerging markets of China and India.
Non-U.S. investors view the United States as the most attractive target.
Venture capitalists cite a lack of investment profile matches, intellectual property issues and difficulty exiting markets as some potential impediments to pursuing a more global portfolio, though most respondents agreed that these challenges are manageable.
This survey was undertaken in 2005 and is based on responses from partners at firms in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific. Learn more from the full report, available as a PDF file attachment in the link below:
