What is Venture Capital And Private Equity?
In finance, private equity is an asset class consisting of equity securities in operating companies that are not publicly traded on a stock exchange.
There are a wide array of types and styles of private equity and the term private equity has different connotations in different countries.
Venture capital is a type of private equity capital typically provided by professional, outside investors to new, high-potential-growth companies in the interest of taking the company to an IPO or trade sale of the business. Venture capital investments are generally made as cash in exchange for shares in the invested company. A venture capitalist (VC) is a person who makes such investments. A venture capital fund is a pooled investment vehicle (often an LLC or LP) that primarily invests the financial capital of third-party investors in enterprises that are too risky for the standard capital markets or bank loans.
