| dc.description.abstract | This thesis analyzes the impact of environmental commitment and industry greenhouse gas (GHG) emission of start-ups on start-up success. I study environmental commitment along with GHG emission and funding data for 911 start-ups based in the United States. The results show that start-ups’ greenness, measured by greenhouse gas emissions of the main industry in which the start-up operates in and by start-ups’ environmental responsibility, has a significant effect on the amount of Venture Capital funds invested in the start-up. The results of my study provide important implications for entrepreneurs, investors, and regulators, highlighting the impact of environmental commitment of start-ups on the venture capital funding they receive. | en_US |
