Abstract Venture capital investment has long been conceptualized as a local business event, but in recent years a growing number of VC institutions began to go aboard for long-distance cross-broader investments. This phenomenon has aroused scholars’ great interest and they start to investigate the motivation in cross-border venture capital investment, namely, why venture capital with evident localization feature are keen to carry on long-distance cross-border investment. Related research has just begun in recent years, yet has quickly become a focus in academic research. This paper has reviewed the latest literature on factors affecting internationalization of VC from three perspectives: environmental factors, social networks VC institutional factors, and future research are discussed on this basis.
