venture capital
High-risk startup investment
Venture capital is money invested in early-stage companies with high growth potential but significant risk.
Unlike traditional loans, venture capital provides funding in exchange for equity—a stake in the company.
Venture capitalists typically invest in startups, hoping a few big winners will offset many failures: The app secured three million in venture capital.
Often shortened to VC.
