Venture Capital Funding
Venture capital is a type of private equity capital typically provided by professional, outside investors to new, growth businesses. Generally made as cash in exchange for shares in the invested company, venture capital investments are usually high risk, but offer the potential for above-average returns.
Venture capitalists or angel investors are not always able to predict which ideas lead to successful companies. This means many successful ideas never get funded. And this also means that they have to fund about 10 ventures to have a real shot at one very successful venture that will make them profitable.
Venture capitalists seek markets sufficiently large to achieve $100 million or greater in value. Market critical mass is necessary to produce liquidity in a public offering or sale. A typical VC firm may typically raise $10 million to $300 million in size for their first fund.
Timeframe:
Venture capitalists are typically looking for returns within a 5 year time frame. In many cases, getting an idea off the ground can take longer, like in the power/energy sector.
