Venture Capital

Venture Capital is a form of private equity investing focused on funding high-growth private companies, typically in exchange for preferred equity and governance rights, with returns driven by a small number of large exits. In the startup ecosystem, Venture Capital funds product development and scaling, and Venture Capital investors often provide strategic support, recruiting help, and follow-on funding.
