PurposeIn a recent quasi-experimental study, the effects of a large German public startup support measure entitled “EXIST – Business Startup Grant” (EGS) on a variety of outcomes were determined, but without examining which factors are responsible for these program effects. The present study investigates the contribution of several factors to the success of the program in promoting product development and business planning.Design/methodology/approachBy means of a two-wave panel design and fixed-effects panel regressions, evidence is generated that provides unique insights into the effect mechanisms of a publicly funded startup grant. The data for the study come from the program monitoring of the startup support measure.FindingsSeveral factors were identified that significantly drive the effects of the program on the product development and business planning stages, namely the program-induced improvement of the skills of the startup team, intensification of cooperation with pilot customers/users, increase in the degree of networking and advice/support from third parties and the effort put into business plan preparation.Originality/valueStartup support programs are a crucial aspect of technology and innovation policies, which are often evaluated in order to find out whether they generate effects. Assessing whether a program is effective or not, however, does not usually allow specific recommendations on how to improve the measure to be developed. Further information on the mechanisms of intervention is needed for this purpose. The present study takes up on this idea and provides this information for a specific type of public startup support measure.

Entrepreneurial finance varies as per the startup stage, such as bootstrapping, crowdfunding, angel investors, venture capital (VC), banks and initial public offer (IPO). Many times, entrepreneurial finance comes with knowledge, experience, innovation, value, etc., in addition to the fund brought in. Venture capitals are the most common such contributors. This study illustrates some significant value-added activities by venture capital firms operating in India. It explores some evidence from venture capitals such as Tiger Global, Accel Partners and DST Global who fund Flipkart, an Indian e-commerce firm.
