| Abstract: | Venture capital is an exciting industry, that generates dominant global technology companies in the capital markets. Venture capital funding is raised in the early stages of the startup life cycle and these enterprises are often aiming to realise returns by being listed on the public markets with an initial public offering. This thesis focuses on venture capital industry in general and highlights the differences between CEE and other regions. IPOs of selected CEE startups are analysed for their stock performance. We found significant underperformance of first day IPO returns coming from CEE on a sample of 5 companies. The CEE markets are an attractive area, but the region is still too young to make strong conclusions about the IPO performance. However, it is growing very aggresively and further successes are expected. |
