“…Beginning with the much-cited seminal paper by Wetzel (1983), it has been reported that business angels normally take an official position on the venture board of directors (Erikson and Sörheim 2005;Freear, Sohl, and Wetzel 1995;Landström 1993;Madill, Haines, and Riding 2005;Mason and Harrison 1996;Prowse 1998;Sörheim and Landström 2001;Wetzel 1983), and become involved through a consulting role (cf. Sohl 1999) or, more seldom, through employment in the venture (cf. Freear, Sohl, and Wetzel 1995;Mason and Harrison 1996).…”

“…formal -such as the allocation of voting rights (Prowse 1998); and informal -such as mentoring the CEO from a board position (Sohl 1999). Reconceptualizing the findings of others means that there is no access to such raw data, but great care has been taken to retransfer any nuances that do survive the process of abstraction from raw data into findings.…”

“…Wetzel (1983) identified in his survey that business angels might be employed both part-and full-time by ventures. This involvement ranges from addressing organizational issues in the venture or shaping the business model (Ardichvili et al 2002) to providing hands-on assistance (Madill, Haines and Riding 2005) and personal involvement (Stedler and Peters 2003), through engaging in consulting help when needed (Erikson and Sörheim 2005;Freear, Sohl and Wetzel 1995;Landström 1993;Sohl 1999;Sörheim and Landström 2001) or solving major operational problems (Prowse 1998), technical problems (Lindström and Olofsson 2001) or evaluating capital expenditures (Prowse 1998). …”

In this article, empirical research on post-investment activities of business angels is reviewed and conceptualized as five distinct governance processes: boundary spanning, structuring, leadership, doing, and monitoring. These processes have the potential to reduce the exposure of business angels to relational risk and market risk.The identification of these governance processes also contributes towards understanding the social aspect of business angels' post investment involvement. In particular, it is shown how the recognition of the cognitive/institutional dimension opens up for new questions about post-investment involvement. Finally, it is proposed that venture performance can be enhanced in practice if business angels and venture members develop skills that are connected to the governance processes.

“…Les anges financiers jouent un rôle important dans le financement de la création (Ho et Wong, 2007) et du démarrage (Sohl, 1999 ;Tashiro, 1999). Les sommes investies restent globalement assez marginales (Harrison et Mason, 2000a) au départ, mais elles sont susceptibles d'évoluer avec le cycle de vie du projet (Robinson et Cottrell, 2007).…”

La finance entrepreneuriale est un domaine de recherche qui se voulait émergent il y a près de trente ans et pour lequel certains chercheurs de renom ont proposé des agendas de recherche spécifiques et stimulants. Or le recensement de plusieurs centaines d’articles publiés révèle que les auteurs ont centré leur attention sur des questions de recherche traditionnelles, laissant souvent de côté les préconisations des experts qui recommandaient notamment d’inclure l’entrepreneur dans les travaux et d’emprunter à la littérature en entrepreneuriat des méthodes et théories pouvant aider à mieux comprendre les questions financières des PME. L’objet de cet article est de faire un survol des travaux réalisés au cours des quinze dernières années en regard des besoins de connaissances spécifiques permettant de favoriser la création et l’émancipation des PME, grâce, notamment, à un financement adéquat. À la vue de ce qui nous semble être un écart entre les connaissances disponibles et celles qui seraient souhaitables selon l’OCDE, et en nous situant dans un contexte de modification de l’environnement d’affaires mondial, nous proposons aux chercheurs intéressés à contribuer au domaine de la finance entrepreneuriale quelques pistes de recherche pour les travaux futurs.

“…We also build on previous research by utilizing a 31 country dataset. As it has been suggested that for every one informal investor, there may be as many as five potential investors (Sohl, 1999), creating a typology also facilitates the exploration of specific individual and environmental drivers and related policy implications.…”
