Venture Capital
-
Startups pitch their business ideas to venture capital firms, seeking funding. -
If a venture capital firm is interested, they will perform due diligence on the company and its management team. -
If the firm decides to invest, they will negotiate terms with the startup, such as the amount of funding provided, the ownership stake the firm will receive, and the expectations for the startup's future performance. -
Once the terms are agreed upon, the startup receives the funding and the venture capital firm becomes an equity holder in the company. -
The startup uses the funding to grow and scale its operations, and the venture capital firm provides support and guidance to help achieve success. -
The hope is that the company will eventually go public or be acquired, providing a return on investment for the venture capital firm and its limited partners.
