This is the first comprehensive book that aims to understand how the
novel coronavirus has impacted the venture capital industry. The
analysis suggests that the industry has been undergoing profound
changes. Specifically, the book assesses the short- and long-term impact
of the economic, political, and social restrictions post COVID-response
on different stakeholders in the venture capital ecosystem, including
general partners (GPs), limited partners (LPs), and entrepreneurs. It
also aims to answer the question whether current changes to the venture
capital industry are likely to renew and promote its overhaul, or simply
perpetuate its decline. The book will be of interest to students,
academics, and researchers focusing on venture capital and private
equity, entrepreneurial finance, entrepreneurship, and new venture
creation as well as industry practitioners
