FIRN Women is hosting online seminars presented by female ECRs in a monthly seminar series. The seminars will be via zoom and will be about an hour long, comprising presentation followed by moderated Q&A.   <h2>FIRN Women invites you to a virtual seminar presented by Jo-Ann Suchard, UNSW</h2>Title: IPO Suspensions and Venture Capital ActivityAbstract: The potential to exit companies through Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) is argued to be critical to the existence of an active venture capital (VC) market. However, this can be difficult to test due to endogeneity concerns. We use the suspension of China’s IPO market as an exogenous shock. We analyse the impact of IPO suspensions on VC investment, exit mechanisms and fundraising. We find that contemporaneous VC investment decreases. VCs are more likely to invest in high tech and less likely to invest in late stage and syndicated deals. Companies that received investment during an IPO suspension are less likely to be exited and take longer to exit. If exited, they are more likely to exit via takeover and in international IPO markets. Further, both the number of new funds raising capital and fund target amounts decrease. The results suggest that lack of access to public markets dampens VC activity.Moderated by: Min Zhu, UQAll FIRN members are welcome to this event.   Please register your interest and you will be sent an email the day before with the Zoom code and password.
