Resumo(s)
A trend toward student-run venture capital funds has emerged more recently. Originating in the US, this concept has also become increasingly established in Europe. According to previous literature, university spin-offs experience a higher degree of information asymmetry and thus greater fundraising challenges. This thesis aims to empirically identify both information asymmetries and untapped potential in German university spin-offs and to compare these with the advantages of student-run venture capital funds. Gained insights are illustrated using the five-year performance review of the most prominent example from the US, the Dorm Room Fund.
