The evaluation criteria of the venture capital investment activity: An interactive assessment

In this paper the modelling of venture capital decision making is being attempted, using a multicriteria decision support system (the Minora system) based on the interactive use of the Uta ordinal regression model. First, a review of the literature on the evaluation criteria for venture capital investment is outlined, and the general methodology of financing firms is presented. Then, a real world application of the Minora system is developed; this has been done in a French venture capital firm and concerned the assessment of an analytical evaluation model of firms.
