We examine the role of venture capitals ( VC ) in Chinese entrepreneurial firms surrounding their initial public offerings (IPOs) on ChiNext. We find VC s are more likely to invest in entrepreneurial firms close to their registered location. Unlike developed countries, Chinese VC s cannot significantly improve firms' corporate governance and operating performance on ChiNext. These results indicate these VC s are more free‐riders rather than value‐added investors. The empirical findings suggest Chinese government should restructure ChiNext or reform primary market regulations to encourage VC s to make more value‐added activities and improve the financing environment of small to medium‐sized enterprises. VC s are still new on the ChiNext.
