Book excerpt: Venture capital (also known as VC or Venture) is a type of private equity capital typically provided for early-stage, high-potential, growth companies in the interest of generating a return through an eventual realisation event such as an IPO or trade sale of the company. Venture capital investments are generally made as cash in exchange for shares in the invested company.
