There have long been problems which mean that entrepreneurial companies
are not able to raise all the capital they need and that good companies
are not getting funded. Therefore, governments in many countries have
tried to solve these problems by taking on the role of venture capital
investor to support entrepreneurial development and early stage
investments. The environment where there is a lack of private equity
financing has highlighted the need for public VC financing.

Currently, there is a growing search for capital (other than the
financing mechanisms offered by the typical banking system) among
entrepreneurial ventures. It would be valuable to understand the role of
the government acting as a major venture capitalist supporting
entrepreneurial businesses, with the aim to engender economic
advantages.

In this special issue, we focus on the entrepreneurial management of VC
financing to help small innovative businesses develop products and bring
them to market. The issue brings together academics, practitioners,
researchers, and aims to deliver a reference edition for all those
interested in the entrepreneurial financing.
