Abstract

The development of entrepreneurial activities, which is always associated with high risk, plays a key and important role in orienting economies. Entrepreneurs are the catalysts for growth and innovation in the small and large industries and create many job opportunities. Today, the most important bottleneck for the quantitative and qualitative development of the knowledge-based businesses, which according to the supreme leader of the Islamic Revolution, is in line with the policies of the resistive economy and the fight against economic warfare, is an effective and efficient financing mechanism. According to experts in the field, current support is both inadequate and inefficient. The purpose of this research is to present a model of how to use and develop Venture Capital Funds in Iranian economy in line with resistive economy and combating in the economic war.
This is a qualitative, consequential, and applied research. In the research methodology section, a combination of library studies, interview and Delphi methods is used. Eight essential and influential variables on the development of the environment governing high risk investments were identified and prioritized using Hierarchical Analysis (AHP). The innovation of this study, compared to a few previous studies, is to focus carefully on the whole environment governing venture capital ecosystem rather than single-loop analysis. Finally, by presenting the suggested solutions for each of the fundamental variables, a comparative-practical model for applying and developing venture capital funds in accordance with the current conditions of the Iranian economy is presented.
