Abstract

PURPOSE: Due to the existence of information opacity, there is a common problem of adverse selection in the process of screening alternative technology start-ups (TSs) and determining investment targets by venture capital institutions, which does not reveal the true value of enterprises and makes the market inefficient. The aim of this paper is to design an evaluation and screening system help venture capital institutions to select the qualified TSs as their investment objective.
