Venture capital and Private Equity in Central and Eastern Europe
Novodvorský, Martin ; Bartošová, Jitka (advisor) ; Šejtka, Ondřej (referee)
This thesis deals with investments in venture capital and private equity in Central and Eastern Europe. The objective I have chosen is to map the evolution of this market and compare it with euro-wide trends using methods of descriptive statistics. As a basis I used statistics of European venture capital and private equity association. The teoretical part includes an introduction to the topic and definition of important concepts. The practical part deals with the development of this market in terms of fundraising, investment activity and exits. The region still lags behind the european numbers both in the amount of fundraising, investment activity and exits. However atractivity for investors is growing. The difference between countries in the region and the rest of Europe is gradually decreasing. The region follows the trends in European market with one year's delay. The are relatively strong fluctuations directed mainly by buyouts. There are very little investments in development of new, viable companies.
