Venture capital exit strategy is a key condition of realizing venture capital appreciation and circular operation. Based on the equity sale method of venture capital exit, this paper explores strategic choices of venture capitalists and venture entrepreneurs for external investment, and constructs a venture capital exit strategy model with the paradigm of classical game theory and quantum game theory, respectively. A series of experiments demonstrated the proposed method can achieve the unification of Nash equilibrium and Pareto equilibrium. Therefore, this paper expands the basic theoretical support and provide practical support for the choice of venture capital exit strategies.
