Resum
The aim of this paper is to characterize the Spanish venture capital sector and to provide data on the economic impact of venture-backed companies. First, it examines the historical evolution of the venture capital sector in Spain. Second, it provides some key figures on supply and demand for venture capital. Finally, using an 88% sample of the population of the top three regions (in terms of venture capital), it presents an estimation of the economic impact of portfolio companies. The results are very encouraging, with implications for future regional development policies.
