Abstract
Researches did not shed enough light on the role of VCs and PEs in supporting entrepreneurs, start-ups & small businesses to grow their projects/businesses.
Capitalizing on the significant work of Paul Gompers et al. (2020), this research is a survey-based study using deductive approach, where a set of hypothesis are developed and tested with regard to deal selection to drive a conclusion about the Egyptian VCs and PEs decision-making process in adopting new ideas or projects across different funds, sectors, stages, size, geographies, important factors in decision-making.
Comparing this study results with to those of Paul Gompers et al. (2020) concluding that Management Team is the most important factor in choosing portfolio company investment as shown by Paul Gompers et al. (2020) versus Ability to Add Value as shown by results of this study. While Ability and Industry experience were the important qualities in the Management Team as shown by Paul Gompers et al. (2020) versus Ability, Teamwork / Cohesiveness were the important qualities in the Management Team.
Half of the VCs surveyed at Paul Gompers et al. (2020) research make Gut decisions against 92% from the Egyptian VCs do not as shown by this study results. Moreover, Unanimous followed by Consensus and then Majority of Partners were the suitable techniques used for each decision rule for initial investment as highlighted by Paul Gompers et al. (2020), while the result of this study shows that Majority of Partners followed by Scoring and then Consensus are suitable techniques used by the surveyed Egyptian VCs. Lastly, 83 days on average are needed to close the deal as shown by Paul Gompers et al. (2020), versus 86% of small size and 79% of large size fund needs around 60 days to close their deals while the remaining will need 90 days or more to close their deal.
