Picking winners or building them? Alliance, intellectual, and human capital as selection criteria in venture financing and performance of biotechnology

Article Abstract:

The study examines whether venture capital (VC) firms emphasize picking winners or building them by comparing the effects of startups' alliance, intellectual, and human capital characteristics on VCs decisions to finance them with the effects of the same characteristics on future startup performance. The conclusion points to a joint logic that combines the roles of VCs finance startups that have strong technology, but are at risk of failure in the short run, and so in need of management expertise.
