Venture capital

The Venture capital (VC) industry is a risky one. Many startups fail, and even those that succeed often take years to generate a return for investors. As a result, VC firms typically invest in a large number of companies in the hope that a few of them will become big winners.

Despite the risks, the VC industry is a vital source of funding for early-stage companies. VC firms provide the capital and expertise that startups need to grow and succeed in the innovation economy.
