Description
Summary:In this article, the authors explore the impact of venture capitalists on new venture internationalization. Based on 18 in-depth case studies, common patterns of how resource provisioning by venture capitalists influences international growth in their portfolio companies are outlined. Slack financial resources and heterogeneous non-financial resources provided by venture capitalists positively enhance the scale of internationalization in new ventures. In addition, the results emphasize a behavioral view of the relationship between venture capitalists and entrepreneurs, wherein the venture capitalist encourages the entrepreneur to strive for fast international growth.
