What is Venture Capital?

A venture capital (VC) is a private equity investor that provides capital to companies exhibiting high growth potential in exchange for an equity stake. This may be financing new companies or helping small businesses that want to grow but have no access to equity markets. Venture capitalists are eager to invest in these businesses because they will gain huge returns on their investments if they succeed. Venture capitalists are typically founded as limited partnerships (LPs) with partners participating in the VC funds. Venture capital investments in firms are typically long-term (average between five and seven years).

That is generally how long it takes for a young company to mature to the point that its shares have value and the company goes public or is bought out. VC firms expect a return on investment of 25% or more, given the risk profile of the companies they invest in. Venture capitalists raise investment money by combining money from investment funds, health insurers, affluent individuals, and the like. The corporation makes choices on which organizations are to spend and earn capital gains and a percentage of income as rewards.

What are the qualities of a Venture Capitalist?

As an investor, you never know what pitch comes next through your door. As such, effective VCs need to be constantly informed about emerging technologies and product trends that require constant learning. The best VCs are both large and deep in their knowledge base and open to new concepts and ways of thought. In ones experience, the level of intellectual curiosity and the individual has been a key indicator of whether they will initially enjoy doing VC and be any good at it.:

  • Curiosity
  • Expertise
  • Passion
  • Focus
  • Confidence
