The fields of venture capital and private equity are rooted in financing research on capital budgeting and initial public offering (IPO). Both fields have grown considerably in recent times with a heterogenous set of themes being explored. This review presents an analysis of research in both fields. Using a large corpus from the Web of Science, this study used bibliometric analysis to present a comprehensive encapsulation of the fields’ geographical focus, methodological choices, prominent themes, and future research directions. Noteworthily, the foundational themes in venture capital research are venture capital adoption and financing processes, venture capital roles in business, venture capital governance, venture capital syndication, and venture capital and creation of public organizations. In private equity research, style drift into venture capital emerges as a key theme alongside buyouts and privatization, and valuation and performance of private equity investment.

Research SummaryTheories and empirical evidence on the competitive motives for VC internationalization are unclear and contradictory. In our study, we adopt a performance feedback perspective to explain VC firms' motives to venture abroad. We leverage unique peer‐performance data on 295 VC funds and 2954 VC investments and find support for our hypotheses that performance below (a) peer, (b) historical, or (c) market aspiration levels drives VCs exodus to (a) foreign and (b) more distant markets. Our study complements theories on internationalization with an organization ecology perspective that acknowledges internationalization as an attempt at adaptation triggered by poor performance.Managerial SummaryVenture capitalists (VC) are not just owners, but take an active role in shaping their portfolio companies' strategies. This causes them to favor investments in their geographic and psychic proximity to allow hands‐on business development. Nevertheless, the share of cross‐border investments by VCs has risen steadily in past years. Our research shows that this internationalization is not solely driven by pioneering and successful VCs but oftentimes by VCs struggling to achieve performance levels. This notion of internationalization by the weakest has important firm‐level consequences.
