Original Abstract

Research background: Research on business angels has attracted the attention of a growing number of research in recent years. This might be evidenced by an increasing number of scientific articles when searching for relevant keywords in Web of Science and Google Scholar. The vast majority of research papers on informal venture capital document the situation in well-developed markets including the USA, Great Britain, and, increasingly, in emerging markets. The Chinese market (mainland) has been focused in particular. To our knowledge, just a little attention is, however, paid to the local angel markets in Central and Eastern Europe. Purpose of the article: In this paper, we provide a structured literature review of research papers on business angels in the Czech Republic and Poland published between 2010 and 2021. We intend to contribute the academic literature regarding the issue which generations of research has been covered and where notable knowledge gaps exist. Methods: The main metoological tool used in this paper consists in creating a comprehensive data set based on searching for relevant termis in Web of Science and Google Scholar. The citation analysis was used to find the most cited papers. Based on the content analysis, the papers were subsequently classified into research generations identified in previous studies. Findings and value added: Our controbution identifies topics which have been tackled in prior studies on one side and topics which deserve attention or researchers and policy makers on the other side when studying the local angel markets in the Czech Republic and Poland.
