Venture capital and innovation: tug of war
by James Matthew Taylor; Mohammad Saud Khan
International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management (IJEIM), Vol. 25, No. 1, 2021

Abstract: Although majority work within the field of innovation has revolved around the theme that venture capital supports innovation, a critical and convincing stream of literature has emerged; promoting a contrasting hypothesis. It is argued that venture capitalists do not promote innovation, but rather thwart it, presenting empirical evidence in support of their position. Therefore, a question remains unanswered: do venture capitalists support innovation, as prevailing literature argues, or do they thwart it? Therefore, the questions of how, why and if venture capital supports innovation, and the importance of the answers for policy, forms the basis of this article.
