Abstract:

This thesis examines the European Venture Capital sector, focusing on the SaaS business, and compares European and US venture capital environments for investors, policymakers, and founders. It examines the impact of COVID-19 on venture capital, government policies encouraging venture capital, and cultural differences and risk aversion on investments, helping investors understand risk preferences across regions. The study also explores the impact of government regulations on venture capital and present an overview of the European Venture Capital field, particularly emphasizing the SaaS market. Additionally, this thesis is to explore the Venture Capital ecosystem through Series ABC investments, Incubators, Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and stock markets. Taking such a wide perspective will provide a complete understanding of the ecosystem in which venture capital operates.
