Start-up Companies, which have the potential to grow, need a certain amount of investment. These companies cannot get finances from the public, as they don’t have access to secondary markets. In such cases, wealthy investors invest money in businesses like start ups, small and medium sized business or enterprises that have long-term business prospects. This capital is known as venture capital and the investors are known as venture capitalists.
Venture capital is a private investment made by investors into new businesses like start-ups and small and medium size enterprises. This type of investment generally comes from wealthy investors and high net-worth individuals and is pooled together by dedicated investment firms.
Venture capital investment is also known as risk capital financing as it involves the risk of losing money, if the venture does not succeed. The capital investment is done in exchange for an equity stake in the business, rather than a loan.
