Abstract:

The main objective is using selected absolute indicators to describe and to compare the venture capital market in different countries, especially in U.S., Russia and Czech Republic. As a result of the comparative analysis, the following criteria for distinguishing models of venture financing in selected countries, based on which differentiation is carried out, were highlighted: the total volume of the venture capital investments and funding depending on the stage of project implementation, the volume of venture capital financing of individual sectors of the economy, typology and specificity of sources of venture financing, the number and volume of venture funds in the country, the attractiveness of counties for the venture capital investments according to the corresponding international index. Analysis was based on available information. As the selected countries use very different approaches to generating venture capital market statistics, it was not possible to completely unify and compare market indicators. Nevertheless, the work has revealed and described the specifics of methodological and practical approaches of different countries in the area of venture capital.
