Venture Capital 101: Venture Capital
Venture capital funds (VC Funds) are pooled investment vehicles that provide capital to startups in exchange for equity. At Startupfon-Blog, we talked about venture capital strategy, venture capital fund and how it makes money for you this week. A vital source of finance for high-growth startups worldwide, venture capital also plays an important role in promoting job creation and economic productivity. Many of the world's largest companies (Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, etc.) started with the funding and advice of venture capitalists (VCs) and now continue to account for almost half of the IPOs in the US. Venture capitalists make risky investments in startups in hopes of great returns. With the rapid growth in the industry in recent years, more VCs than ever are continuing to invest more capital.
