Secondly, they address conflict of interest concerns (during the deal agreement stage). Once these two major corporate governance concerns are addressed, venture capitalists move to focus on corporate governance enhancement (during the monitoring stage), and, finally, on value maximization (during the divestment stage). 99 questionnaires were sent out to investment officers from thirty three venture capital funds operating in Poland, yielding the response rate of 56 percent
