In this course, we will investigate to what extent venture capital (in the U.S. elsewhere) fosters innovation as well as how other types of financing can drive or hinder innovation. Our discussion will be based on most recent academic and industry empirical evidence, as well as illustrative case studies. We will start with discussing venture capital as an industry, explain the organizational structure of venture capital firms as well as incentives of different players in the industry. We then explore in more detail how we can measure innovation and the relationship between VC industry and innovation activity.
