Article Abstract:
A study examining the due diligence efforts of venture capital companies for controlling agency risks is presented. Based on Singapore markets, it is observed that venture capital companies that are not strong in reprisal ability are inclined to devote more efforts on due diligence. Venture capital companies face the agency risk from entrepreneurs who sacrifice the interests of venture capital firms for personal gains.
