The Role of Venture Capital and Private Equity in the Entrepreneurial Finance Ecosystem

This paper researches the role of venture capital and private equity in the entrepreneurial ecosystem by reviewing the literature within that domain. The existing literature, studies and other literature reviews are included in this paper to learn if there is a progress in the field and to collect the most critical data regarding venture capital and private equity in entrepreneurial finance. An analysis is limited to scholarly journal articles and reviews published during the last five years (2014 – 2019) and available within the ISI Web of Science database. To detect current themes in the field, we performed a bibliometric analysis of entrepreneurial equity financing research. By dividing the literature into four clusters that are presenting the main findings within the area, this study provides a better understanding of venture capital and other sources of entrepreneurial funding. The results of this study indicate that the essential benefit that venture capitalists offer to entrepreneurs after financing consists of their involvement, monitoring and advising. This paper highlights the main points that can assist entrepreneurs in understanding the role of venture capital better.
