Abstract

Entrepreneurship literature has provided a broad scope of research on the venture capitalist--entrepreneur (VC-E) relationship. Research on venture capitalist investment and related phenomena has seen a heightened focus in recent years as theoretical development of the field continues to expand. A central topic of discussion in the literature has been the venture capitalist-entrepreneur (VC-E) relationship, with research being primarily segmented into pre- and post-investment actions and relationships. The current study extends the knowledge in this stream of literature by theoretically developing propositions examining the relationship between the initial confidence a venture capitalist has in a given venture and the level of funding the venture capitalist will provide to the entrepreneur or venture.
