Abstract: Abstract This chapter explores the changes to the venture capital investment process post COVID-response. Normal patterns of venture capital daily operations, deal processing routines, regular habits of communication, and other tacit behaviors that were previously established in the pre-COVID era have been disrupted. COVID restrictions have affected the venture capital community differently from country-to-country, although during March and April of 2020, the venture capital industry as a whole went into a retreat-and-hide mode. In most countries, the situation improved in June, but by the fall the venture capital community understood that it would not be able to engage in its normal processes in the foreseeable future because of the strict COVID-response measures that emerged. This chapter discusses many dislocations to normal patterns of processing venture capital deals, as well as the challenges experienced within each stage of the investment process (i.e., deal generation, evaluation and screening, financial contracting, monitoring, and exiting).
