Abstract:     
This paper introduces an analysis of international relocation decisions of venture capital (VC) - backed companies. Relocations to the US are motivated by economic conditions as well as an improvement in the laws of the country in which the entrepreneurial firm is based. Relocations to the US yield much greater returns to Asia-Pacific VCs than investing in companies already based in the US at the time of VC investment. Further, more experienced Asia-Pacific VCs have greater success with their investee relocations to the US, and these relocations yield higher returns relative to staying in their country of origin.
