Venture Capital

Venture capital firms invest in early- and mid-stage businesses for a limited timeframe in exchange for some level of ownership of the business. The investment is usually in the form of stock or a legal instrument that can be converted to stock.

Why is it important?

Venture capital investments usually range from $500,000 to $5 million or higher. They may also be willing to invest in higher risk companies.
