business ventures

Startups and investments

Business ventures are commercial enterprises undertaken with the expectation of profit, typically involving some degree of risk.

The term emphasizes the speculative or entrepreneurial nature of the undertaking: She's involved in several business ventures in the tech sector.

A venture implies initiative and uncertainty—not every business is called a venture, but new or risky ones often are.
