Venture Capital is a source of funding that promotes both firms' development and competitiveness, not only by providing capital but also by supporting management in a variety of fields. The Portuguese Venture Capital market is a recent one and there are few studies regarding it. Our survey attempts to contribute to a deeper understanding of this activity in Portugal, through a current view about the selection criteria of investment opportunities, the Venture Capital firm intervention during the partnership and the impact on the Venture Capital backed companies after the divestment. We intend to study the Venture Capital evolution over the last years, by comparing our findings with those obtained by Correia (2004). Furthermore, we aim to examine the impact that the financial crisis has had on Venture Capital. The study was conducted through a content analysis of ten semi-structured interviews with Portuguese Venture Capital managers. We find evidence that there is a positive development in the Venture Capital broadening in Portugal. The Portuguese Venture Capital market has firms with several investment profiles that determine their preferences in the projects' selection. Nevertheless, the management team's characteristics are mentioned as a relevant criterion by the majority of Venture Capital managers. The exit strategy is one of the major concerns of Venture Capital managers throughout the different stages of the investment cycle. The Venture Capital firm conducts a close monitoring of the portfolio companies particularly when it comes to decisions that may change their strategy. The partnership between the Venture Capital and the entrepreneur is vital for an achievement of a more professional management.

O mercado de Capital de Risco e recente em Portugal, existindo pouca informacao e estudos sobre o mesmo. Este trabalho de investigacao visa contribuir para o conhecimento da atividade em Portugal. O proposito desta investigacao e o de obter uma visao atual sobre os fatores de selecao de oportunidades de investimento, as formas de intervencao das Sociedades de Capital de Risco durante a parceria e o impacto nas empresas participadas apos o desinvestimento. Pretendemos ainda observar a evolucao da atividade de Capital de Risco nos ultimos anos, atraves da comparacao dos resultados com os obtidos por Correia (2004). Adicionalmente, propomo-nos estudar o impacto que a crise financeira tem no Capital de Risco.O estudo fez-se atraves de uma analise de conteudo de dez entrevistas semi-estruturadas a gestores de Sociedades de Capital de Risco Portuguesas. Constata-se que houve uma evolucao positiva na divulgacao de Capital de Risco em Portugal. Existem, no mercado Portugues, Sociedades de Capital de Risco com diversos perfis de investimento, o que determina as suas preferencias na selecao de projetos. A maior parte dos gestores de Capital de Risco destacam a importancia das caracteristicas da equipa de promotores como criterio para a selecao de investimentos. A saida do investimento e um dos aspetos que mais preocupa os gestores de capital de risco ao longo de todas as fases do processo. A Sociedade de Capital de Risco faz um acompanhamento proximo da empresa sobretudo em materias que possam alterar a sua estrategia. O impacto da parceria e determinante para tornar a gestao mais profissional.
