Venture Capital

Venture capital is a type of private equity investment in early-stage, high-growth companies with high potential for returns.

Venture Capital Firms or Funds

In exchange for their investment, venture capital firms or funds typically receive equity, usually in the form of preferred stock, which gives them a claim on a portion of the company's assets and profits.

Venture Capital Investments

Typical venture capital investments occur in various stages, including:
- Seed funding: early-stage investment to help start-ups develop their product or service.
- Series A, B, C funding: subsequent investments to support business growth and expansion.

Venture capitalists take on the risk of financing risky start-ups in pursuit of high returns, as successful ventures can generate substantial profits.

Primary Interest of Venture Capitalists
