The syndication of venture capital investments in Europe: evidence from five European countries

Manigart, S. ; Lockett, A. ; Meuleman, M. ; Landström, Hans LU and Desbrieres, P. (2002) Frontiers of Entrepreneurship Research
Abstract
Financial theory, resource-based theory and deal flow generation are used to

explain synd ication practices among venture capitalists in Belgium, France, The

Netherlands, Sweden and the UK. Similar motives drive syndication in the five

countries: the desire to share risk and increase portfolio diversification is more

important than the desire to access additional intangible resources or deal flow. When

resource-based motives are more important, however, the propensity to syndicate

increases. Syndication practices are more important in young venture capital (VC)

firms and in VC firms with more portfolio companies.
