As of early 2022, seven of the ten largest firms in the world by
market capitalization had been funded through various types of
entrepreneurial finance. This handbook provides an up-to-date
survey of what we know about this significant phenomenon in all its
forms, and where our knowledge about it needs to head from here.
The handbook embraces a wide range of established and emerging
academic and practitioner voices across the globe to explore the
theoretical and practical flux and tension in the field. Until
recently, most studies have taken a supply side perspective,
focusing on the perspective of those who provide funding to new
ventures. This book takes a different, demand side perspective,
beginning with the entrepreneur and gradually broadening our view
to include close by and then more distant funding sources.
Following this approach, it is organized into four parts detailing
the individual level (founders' resources, bricolage and
bootstrapping, effectuation and portfolio entrepreneurship); the
inner circle (informal financing, business groups, incubators and
accelerators); the wider world (formal debt, microfinance, venture
capital, corporate venture capital, business angels, government
funding and family offices); and emerging perspectives (non-Western
perspectives, gender, indigenous perspectives, post-conflict and
disaster zones and ethics). The introduction considers the general
state of the field, while the conclusion takes on additional topics
relevant to entrepreneurial finance, such as decentralized finance,
big data, behavioral economics, financial innovation and COVID-19,
as well as possible ways in which entrepreneurial finance can have
a greater impact on other disciplines. This handbook will be a core
reference work for researchers, practitioners, and policy makers
seeking an up-to-date academic survey of entrepreneurial finance.
It can also be used as a primary text in Ph.D. seminars in
entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial finance, and finance. Instructors
in Master's level courses in entrepreneurial finance and venture
capital will also find the book of benefit.
