Abstract

As an important driver of enterprise innovation and development, venture capital firms have a considerable impact on the healthy and sustainable development of enterprises and the commercialisation of research findings. This thesis aims to find ways to make enterprises efficiently obtain investments from venture capital firms to achieve high-quality development. In particular, this study focuses on the factors influencing investment in high-tech start-ups and uses programmatic grounded theory to build a fishbone diagram model of these factors. The results indicate that there are five key factors influencing investments in high-tech start-ups: investor preferences, market prospects, enterprise characteristics, team abilities and financial considerations, which can then be subdivided into 14 subfactors. Specific to high-tech start-ups, this thesis focuses on the investment preferences of venture capital firms by studying and analysing the key influencing factors to help Chinese high-tech start-ups improve their investment and financing efficiency. This study also aims to provide a theoretical reference to expedite the construction of an innovative China, strengthen support for the innovation of small- and medium-sized start-ups and promote the commercialisation of research findings.
