Esta dissertação analisa o Capital de Risco, um instrumento considerado importante
para o desenvolvimento económico. Bygrave e Timmons ( 1992) argumentam que ao
mobilizar e reciclar posteriormente o escasso capital de risco e o talento empreendedor, este
instrumento é capaz de transformar uma economia. É objectivo desta tese analisar as
funções de Capital de Risco e as actividades desenvolvidas pelas sociedades de capital de
risco em Portugal, comparando-as com o "Venture Capital" praticado nos EUA.
Em primeiro lugar caracteriza-se o "Venture Capital", descrevem-se as razões mais
frequentes de insucesso de um projecto e apresenta-se um sistema de avaliação de
investimentos com diferentes níveis de risco. A seguir usa- se um modelo de decisão
genérico para descrever o processo de investimentos com Capital de Risco.
Em Portugal, a actividade é relativamente recente, não obstante o número de sociedades
ter diminuído drasticamente nos últimos três anos. A nossa hipótese é de que diversos
factores económico-sociais dão uma forma própria ao Capital de Risco no ambiente em que
é criado. Em Portugal identificámos 3 factores que moldaram o capital de risco nesta
economia:
• O risco calculado,
• O peso do Estado,
• A mentalidade portuguesa.
This work analyses Venture Capital, which is considered an important instrument for economic development. Bygrave and Timmons ( 1992) argue that by mobilizing and later recycling scarce risk capital and entrepreneurial talent, this instrument is able to transform an economy. The objective of this dissertation is to analyse the functions of Venture Capital, and the activities of venture capital firms in Portugal, comparing them to Venture Capital activities exercised in the USA. First, we define the characteristics of Venture Capital, analyse the most frequent reasons for a project to fail, and present an evaluation system for investments with different levels of risk. This is followed by a generic decision malcing model that refiects the investment process of Venture Capital. The activity in Portugal is relatively new. Nevertheless, the number of venture capital firms has reduced drastically over the last three years. Our theory is that several socioeconomic factors give venture capital it's own personality in the environment in which it is created. In Portugal, we identified 3 factors that shaped venture capital in this economy: • A calculated risk, • The involvement.of the State, • The Portuguese mentality.
