What is venture capital?
The field of venture capital (VC) involves investing in early-stage startups and high-growth companies with the intention of receiving a return on investment, usually in the form of equity or ownership stakes. These investors, known as venture capitalists, seek to support companies with innovative ideas and offer strategic guidance, mentorship, and industry connections to help the startups succeed and grow.
