摘要：The study examines patterns in spatial distribution between venture capital and private equity investors and investees in Brazil. A survey was conducted using the geographic location data of venture capital and private equity fund managers and investee companies who were part of the Second PE/VC Census (ABDI & FGV, 2011). The database contained 144 PE/VC fund managers and 481 investee companies by the year 2010. Distances between managers and investees of 63% of the database or 50% of the total number of firms in the Brazilian PE/VC industry were randomly obtained and analysed. Results indicate regional equity gaps and inequality of the spatial distribution of the Venture Capital industry in Brazil.
