- Pre-start-up formal business plans and post-start-up performance: A study of 116 new ventures (2007, background): “Zacharakis and Meyer (2000) stated that a business plan is the primary source of information for the investment screening decision.”
- Gender differences in the contribution patterns of equity-crowdfunding investors (2017, positive): “Along with our understanding of decision making from the study of venture capitalists’ decision-making (Zacharakis and Meyer 2000), it is interesting to explore questions such as whether participants of crowdfunding show overconfidence and, if so, how this is linked to gender.”
- "In pursuit of the real deal": A longitudinal study of VC decision making (2011, methodology): “…indicates that VCs emphasize characteristics of (i) the company’s management team, (ii) the market, (iii) the product or service, and (iv) the venture’s financial potential when making investment decisions (e.g., Riquelme and Rickards, 1992; Muzyka et al., 1996; Zacharakis and Meyer, 2000).”
- Governance and Strategic Leadership in Entrepreneurial Firms (2002, background): “This is, in part, explained by the selectivity demonstrated by venture capitalists in funding less than one percent of proposals received (e.g.,Hall & Hofer, 1993; Megginson & Weiss, 2001; Zacharakis & Meyer, 2000).”
- Patents, Trademarks, and Their Complementarity in Venture Capital Funding (2016, neutral): “VCs rely on quality characteristics to approximate a start-up's quality before making investment decisions (Zacharakis and Meyer, 2000).”
- Conducting Studies of Decision Making in Organizational Contexts: A Tutorial for Policy-Capturing and Other Regression-Based Techniques (2002, background): “As an example of realistic cues, Zacharakis and Meyer (2000) examined venture capitalists’ funding decisions using disguised but actual venture business cases to create scenarios and cues.”
- What matters, matters differently: a conjoint analysis of the decision policies of angel and venture capital investors (2014, background): “…signals from strategic readiness also factor in the investment decisions of VCs (MacMillan, Siegel, and Narasimha 1986; Shane and Cable 2002; Zacharakis and Meyer 2000); however, they may matter less because of the relational distance and outcome-oriented mechanisms that control market…”
