Full textThis study is concerned with business angels’ investments process and which aspects in their choice of target firms are considered important in that process. The problem statement of this thesis is; what aspects play a role in Business angels’ investment decision, and in what way? How do these aspects affect business angels when making investment decisions, and why? The aim subsequently is concerned with discerning what is most important for business angels when choosing their target firms and how business angels make their investment decisions. We also aim to be able to create a deeper understanding of business angels, and contribute to small entrepreneurial firms in their search for financiers. Our research can provide information on how entrepreneurs can attract business angels.
The study is created with previous studies as a framework, and a wide selection of studies have been used. These have been examined and issues which in those studies have been found to be important for business angels have been reviewed and accounted for in the theory chapter.
The approach we used for data collection was through qualitative interviews with the use of an interview guide. This is explained by our aspiration to understand business angels’ investment criteria rather than describe them. Due to this, the view of interpretivism along with constructionism was taken on when constructing the interviews and findings. The respondents were found through business angels networks, and the selection of business angels entailed a fair representation of the researched group. This thesis has been conducted in an academically correct manner, and the results are validated and confirmed by the respondents.
The results we came to from our interviews were that the entrepreneur was most important for business angels in their evaluations, but other aspects also played a role. We analyzed our results with the use of our theory section and hence could see that some things we had come up with were unique, whilst some findings confirmed previous studies. We found that many business angels turn down investments due to their lack of time, which was a rather new emphasize for this study. Some qualities of the entrepreneur the business angels required were that they needed to be sales oriented and not overly optimistic about the future returns and prosperity of their ventures. We have shown that if entrepreneurs are overly optimistic about the value of their own firm it is likely that they will lose the deal. This was also of interest as it has not been stated as clearly in previous studies.
We conclude the thesis by giving advice to entrepreneurs and business angels, what future business angels should keep in mind and also what entrepreneurs should know before they involve themselves with business angels.

Full textEsta dissertação analisa a actividade dos business angels em Portugal e o impacto do Programa COMPETE na criação de novas empresas e de novos postos de trabalho. Este programa, criado em 2010, inclui uma linha de co-investimento aos business angels, destinado ao apoio e criação de novas empresas com elevado potencial tecnológico. Neste estudo, encontramos fortes evidências de que esta linha de financiamento estimulou a actividade empreendedora em Portugal. Usando uma base de dados, de preenchimento obrigatório, que inclui todas as empresas privadas em Portugal, seleccionamos dois conjuntos de dados transversais, colhidos antes e depois do Programa COMPETE. Usando o método das diferenças-em-diferenças, observamos que o programa está associado a um aumento de onze novas empresas, principalmente entre as pequenas empresas, e também a um aumento de quatro novos postos de trabalho em start-ups, embora este último efeito não seja significativo. Adicionalmente, através da recolha de dados sobre a forma de um questionário, analisamos as principais características dos business angels Portugueses e avaliamos a sua propensão a investir. Observamos que os business angels portugueses são predominantemente indivíduos do sexo masculino, com idade compreendida entre os 40 e 60 anos, com formação universitária, geralmente nas áreas de ciências empresariais e da economia. Também observamos que apresentam experiência empreendedora, na gestão e em consultoria. Em relação à propensão a investir, observamos que os business angels portugueses têm uma probabilidade positiva para investir acima dos 50.000 euros/ano e investem com uma frequência semestral ou anual.
This dissertation analyzes the business angels activity in Portugal and the impact of the COMPETE Program on firm entry and job creation. This program, created in 2010, includes a co-investment fund for business angels to support the creation of new ventures with innovative potential. There is strong evidence that this financing line has stimulated entrepreneurial activity in Portugal. Using a mandatory database which includes all private firms in Portugal, we select two cross-sectional datasets, collected before and after the COMPETE Program. Through a difference-in-differences approach, we observe that this program is associated with an increase of eleven new firms, primarily among small firms, and an increase of four employees per start-up, although the later effect is not significant. Additionally using data collected through a questionnaire, we analyze Portuguese business angels? main characteristics and evaluate their propensity to invest. We found that Portuguese business angels are predominantly middle-aged male with university education, usually in the fields of business sciences and economy. They also have entrepreneurial, managerial and consulting prior experience. Regarding their propensity to invest, we find that Portuguese business angels have a positive probability to invest up to 50,000 euros/year and they often invest semiannually or annually.

Full textEls inversors privats o business angels inverteixen directament en empreses cotitzades gestionades per un tercer no familiar i representen una de les fonts principals de fons per noves empreses (~1.0% del PIB segons el GEM). La tesi aporta en dos punts de la recerca en inversors privats; la disparitat de definicions i l’evidència contradictòria sobre els seus criteris de filtratge de projectes. La recerca identifica i argumenta 10 problemes de definició, investiga com la tria de definicions està influïda per la metodologia de mostratge emprada i com impacta al seu torn en els resultats. La revisió de 24 estudis anteriors demostra que hi ha múltiples definicions, a vegades escollides en funció de la metodologia de mostreig i que l’ús de definicions inconsistents porta a diferents resultats. L’estudi defensa una definició de consens, preferiblement àmplia, i proposa un marc conceptual per facilitar-ho. Basant-se en l’anàlisi estadístic d’una base de dades de 215 projectes i utilitzant 3 fonts diferents per evitar biaix (l’inversor, l’emprenedor i la documentació del projecte), la recerca conclou que la fase de filtratge inicial és crucial dins del procés d’inversió (45% taxa de refús) i que l’èxit en la fase de filtratge depèn sobretot de les habilitats presentacionals enlloc de l’oportunitat de negoci o de l’equip emprenedor. El sector d’activitat del projecte, el desenvolupament o l’entorn macroeconòmic no influeixen en els criteris d’inversió. En la fase de filtratge inicial els inversors prenen les seves decisions basant-se en la intuïció i aspectes intangibles, enlloc de consideracions racionals i elements tangibles, com l’oportunitat de negoci o les credencials de l’emprenedor. La comparació amb resultats d’estudis anteriors basats en els inputs dels inversors suggereix que els propis inversors no són totalment conscients dels criteris utilitzats efectivament. En el mercat de capital risc informal, les ineficiències del procés d’inversió són tan importants com les ineficiències de mercat (falta d’informació o falta de projectes) investigades anteriorment. Les conclusions haurien de portar a revisar les polítiques de suport als business angels implementades fins ara, definides a partir de grans inversors, per abordar inversors més petits amb problemes de diversificació, continuïtat de l’activitat inversora i ineficiències en el procés inversor.

Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to discuss why homoerotically inclined individuals, especially gay men, are socially construed as monsters. Through the analysis of two gay characters out of Tony Kushners Angels in America (Joe and Prior), and supported by a classical literary monster, the nameless character in Mary Shelleys Frankenstein, I try to point out societys mechanisms that transform gays into abjected personas. Meanwhile, I conduct my analysis through carefully constructed dogmas and the institutions of power that scrutinize and attempt to control deviant sexualities. Ultimately, I see transgression as a necessary stand for gays to guarantee their right to self-fulfillment (which should be unalienable to every individual), and the only way to the expression of their true sexual subjectivities

A economia mundial tem sofrido intensas mudanças nas últimas décadas. As pequenas e médias empresas ganham destaque na economia e revelam consigo a importância do mercado de capital de risco, que ajuda no desenvolvimento dessas empresas com auxílio financeiro e de conhecimento. Nas fases ainda mais iniciais destacam-se os investidores anjos, pessoas físicas com elevado capital social e financeiro que atuam de forma societária nessas empresas. Este trabalho descreve o advento da Economia Empreendedora, melhor adaptada às mudanças acima, e entra no universo do investidor anjo. Com base numa ampla revisão bibliográfica são descritos o investidor, seu ambiente e sua forma de atuação. Em seguida, pela aplicação de um questionário baseado no conhecimento obtido com a literatura, diversas barreiras nessa identificadas foram submetidas a uma pesquisa que constatou algumas semelhanças com os mercados internacionais e também peculiaridades do mercado brasileiro. Avaliou-se ainda o comportamento dos anjos frente a 17 variáveis políticas e econômicas. Esta parte da pesquisa é útil em especial para a avaliação das atuais políticas de incentivo a esta atividade e ao planejamento de outras.
The World´s economy has changed a lot in the last decades. The small and medium size companies became more important and with them the venture capital, supplier of money and knowledge for these companies, also play an important role. In the first stages the angel investors, providers of social and financial capital for these companies, are more relevant. This work describes the origin of the Entrepreneurial Economy and enters into these investors universe. Based on an extensive bibliographic research it describes the angel investor, its environment and investment process. Latter, with research among Brazilian investors, the barriers fo und on the literature were submitted for their opinions. Many differences and similarities were found between Brazilian and the other markets. There were also evaluated the impact of 17 economic end political conditions, which are considerably important for the evaluation of actual and future political incentives to stimulate entrepreneurship.

Full textThis interdisciplinary thesis begins with a 1981 birthday gift of art, music, photography, and words presented to the citizenry of Los Angeles for their bicentennial titled The City of Our Lady Queen of the Angels. The installation was created by Anthony Duquette and Angelino artisans and depicted a court of giant Archangels presided over by their queen, the patron angel of the city. The installation was accompanied by a poem written for Los Angeles by Ray Bradbury, set to music by Garth Hudson, and preserved through photography by James Chen. I reconstruct the fragments of Bradbury's poem and prepare them as spell for transportation as a Los Angeles specific ritual performance. I document and then use the installation and poem as the inspiration for my own reinterpretation of the 1981 work through music, words and choreography titled A Dance in the Green Garden of the Queen of the Angels. My oral interpretation of the poem defines its structure, and composer David Johnson creates a score for the work, which I perform and record with instrumental quartet. I choreograph, cast, and costume the resulting Queen of the Angels Sonata as a ritual dance, and the piece is performed at CSULA’s International Day of Dance Concert, 2016. I then create a film production team to digitally record and edit the entire dance concert as a feature length film, and its seven individual dances as short film excerpts, that are distributed globally on YouTube.
