Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Venture capital is widely believed to be an influential arrangement for the financing of new innovative companies. We examine and find empirical evidence that venture capital financing is related to product market strategies and outcomes of startups. We use a unique hand-collected database of Silicon Valley high technology start-ups, that contains both venture capital and non-venture capital backed firms, and that contains firm-specific data on initial product market strategies, subsequent financing patterns, and the time it takes a firm to bring its product to market. We find that firms that are pursuing an innovator strategy are significantly more likely and faster to obtain venture capital. The presence of a venture capitalist is also associated with a significant reduction in the time taken to bring a product to market, especially for innovators. Further, firms are more likely to list obtaining venture capital as a significant milestone in the lifecycle of the company as compared to other financing events. Our results suggest significant interrelations between investor type and product market dimensions, and a potential role of venture capital for innovative companies.
