Venture Capital

Description

Provision of capital to enable a company to move beyond startup stage to a point where the company can be sold at a profit or listed on a stock exchange. Typically, capital will be raised in a series of rounds. Each round will transfer a small equity stake to those involved due to the smaller risk involved.
