| dc.description.abstract | This study highlights the macroeconomic financial and regulatory indicators that researchers and investors primarily focus on regarding venture capital (VC) investing in emerging markets. It will review several of the more impactful research studies done on the topic over the past several years. This study will also use data sourced from the Global Private Capital Association (GPCA) as well as The World Bank to draw conclusions on the relationships between certain variables and their impact on VC investment into emerging markets. This study aims to reveal several findings. First, that the globalization of the private capital industry increased funds invested into nations that VC Investors previously considered non-viable. Second, that non-economic factors, such as regulatory status and control of corruption, are also important aspects for VC investors when choosing a market to enter. Finally, from 2017-2022, VC investors used specific financial indicators to select emerging markets in which to invest. This study provides insights for researchers and industry professionals to draw upon when analyzing possible indicators and methods to employ as they choose which emerging market to invest venture capital funds. | |
