Private Placement

A Private Placement is a type of private offering in which securities are sold to a limited group of investors under an exemption from public registration requirements, often using standardized documentation and transfer restrictions. In venture capital and private credit, Private Placement rounds are the common mechanism for raising growth capital, and Private Placement terms define valuation, governance, and investor rights.
