Overview: This paper analyzes a comprehensive data set of 160 non venture-backed, 79 venture-backed and 61 bridge financed companies going public at Germany's Neuer Markt between March 1997 and March 2002. One examine whether these three types of issues differ with regard to issuer characteristics, balance sheet data or offering characteristics. Moreover, this empirical study contributes to the under pricing literature by focusing on the complementary or rather competing role of venture capitalists and underwriters in certifying the quality of a company when going public, either in a bull or in a bear market.
