Sažetak
Venture capital has greatly developed over the last three decades in the United States, but much less so in Europe, especially in CEE countries. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to provide a comparative analysis of venture capital in Central and Eastern European countries and Croatia, with special emphasis on the situation of the venture capital in Croatia. After short overview of general development of venture capital and its origins, situation in CEE region and Croatia is analyzed in more details by using different measures such as ability to attract capital, VC investments as percentage of GDP, index of economic freedom and combined scores. All the measures showed that Croatia lags behind all the CEE countries, but more importantly, they also showed that Croatia has a large potential to develop in this area.
