Welcome to our Venture Capitalist Survey. We greatly appreciate your time and expertise in participating in this important research. This survey is part of an academic study conducted to understand the key factors that influence venture capital investment decisions. 

The findings from this survey will contribute to academic research that will be published in peer-reviewed journals, thereby providing valuable insights to entrepreneurs and the wider venture capital community.

Your responses will be kept strictly confidential and will only be used for statistical analysis. All data will be de-identified to ensure your anonymity and individual responses will not be published. The survey should take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete.

It would be very useful if you answered the initial questions about your characteristics to test for correlations, but these are optional and you may skip them.

Thank you for your contribution to this research. Your insights are invaluable in helping us understand the dynamics of venture capital investment decisions.
