| Abstract | The aim of the study is to investigate the development of venture capital (VC) in an emerging economy lacking the fully-developed legal and financial institutions necessary to support private-equity financing. This study, undertaken in Nigeria, included extended interviews with venture capitalists (VCs), entrepreneurs who were able to secure VC funding and those who were not, a government minister and their key policy staff. The findings suggest that VCs require stable trusted institutional frameworks, regulations and tax regimes, alongside clear exit strategies. They also suggest that informal institution such as networking is important for VC development. These findings have major implications for VC policy and for the development of technology-based industrial start-ups. The paper contributes to the literature on the impact of institutions on VC development processes in emerging economies. |
