CURRENT TRENDS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF VENTURE ENTERPRISE IN UKRAINE
The article is devoted to the analysis of quantitative and structural parameters of venture business development in Ukraine, so it seems appropriate to focus on its most generalizing features and characteristics, which have been clearly outlined in recent decades. First of all, it should be noted the extremely low level of capitalization of the domestic venture capital market. Also important for a comprehensive analysis of the current state and trends in domestic venture entrepreneurship is the number of venture capital investment institutions and a significant increase in the level of concentration of the domestic asset management market. Another conclusion that follows from the data concerns the dominance of venture mutual investment funds, ie closed-end funds, in the subjective structure of domestic venture entrepreneurship. Domestic venture funds are also characterized by an extremely insignificant share of the value of their assets in the gross domestic product of our state. Another well-established trend in the structural dynamics of domestic venture funds in the last decade is the growing share of foreign capital in the structure of their investment flows. In addition, in recent years there has been a clear eloquent trend, namely: the growing share of domestic individuals in the subjective structure of investors in venture mutual investment institutions. International corporate structures, business incubators and accelerators are actively opening their innovative divisions and representative offices in our country. It is worth noting that the number and volume of funding for Ukrainian startups is increasing from year to year. In recent years, the processes of attracting funding through crowdfunding platforms and grant sources have been developing dynamically. Evidence of the growing interest of foreign venture capitalists in Ukrainian startups is the intensification of mergers and acquisitions in this area. Unfortunately, maintaining the extremely low economic motivation of venture capitalists to invest money in the early stages of research and self-search by inventors in most cases leads to dependence on investors and unequal exchange of property rights for scientific ideas for financial resources.
