Venture capital involves private equity investments provided to startup companies and small businesses with perceived long-term growth potential. Venture capitalists typically invest in exchange for cash and ownership equity in companies. They provide funding for businesses in the seed, startup, and expansion phases. Venture capitalists may take an active or passive role in advising the companies they invest in. Key factors they consider include the business plan, management team, industry outlook, product or service quality, and market potential when deciding on investments. Venture capital funds develop by identifying promising deals, structuring investment agreements, and ultimately exiting investments for a return.
