Angel funding is an important source of capital for startup ventures (J. Sohl 2019), providing a similar level of capital as institutional venture capital (OECD 2011). But angel funding is challenging to study due to the informal nature of the activity. A common paradigm for new venture funding argues that new ventures initially fund their activities with angel investment and then, as they show success, make progress to commercialization and de-risk core venture propositions, ventures transition to more professional institutional (venture capital) funding. A belief in this paradigm can strongly influence early venture creation activities, and assumptions about the later availability of capital from institutional venture capital underpin many startup business plans. However, the literature exploring this phenomenon is very sparse, and the question of the relationship of angel to venture funding transition has rarely been studied. By analyzing a large and robust dataset, this thesis advances the understanding of the actual behavior of investors and the impact this early behavior, and the funding choices involved, have on company outcomes. This thesis also explores a novel form of venture investing and places it into a broader context of new venture funding that may help explain some of the key observations discussed. These fundamentally empirical studies examine the nature/reality of important entrepreneurial phenomena of interactions between angel and venture funding in novel ways, pose questions, and identify a set results that point to a potential market failure. Attempts are made to understand these results and place them into the contexts of both research theory and a broader understanding of entrepreneurial behavior; there certainly remain a set of unanswered questions and potential fruitful directions for future research.

Fostering Sustainable Innovation Within Organizations

Peter Michael Vogel

Over the past years many corporate business leaders have started to shift their strategy from a pure profit seeking one towards a balance in simultaneously striving to achieve economic, environmental and social goals (Elkington 1998; Preuss 2007; Roth 2009). As a result, challenges on the sustainability agenda have emerged as a new source of opportunities for innovation and competitive advantage (Fichter 2006; Hockerts 2008; Hansen et al. 2009). Research has shown that entrepreneurs are the main drivers of innovation, economic growth and social change (Audretsch 2002); hence, organizations try to adopt entrepreneurial approaches in order to spur their own innovativeness (Hamel 1999; Ireland et al. 2009). However, as recent publications have discussed, the promotion of entrepreneurship is a difficult and multifaceted issue requiring the consideration of dynamic processes describing the interplay of multiple external factors, local conditions and the individual innovators (Isenberg 2010; Krueger 2012; Vogel 2013). These difficulties are particularly distinct when discussing sustainable innovation, as risk-related reluctance in instigating this kind of innovation can still be observed among corporate leaders (Hall 2002). If established companies plan to take part in creating tomorrow’s economy, it will be necessary for them to challenge prevailing assumptions about innovation processes (Hamel 1999). The purpose of this chapter is to investigate the main success factors of entrepreneurial ecosystems and discuss ways how to assimilate these in an organizational context.
