venture funding
Investor money injection
Venture funding is capital invested in early-stage companies with high growth potential, typically in exchange for equity.
The money comes from venture capital firms, angel investors, or institutional funds willing to accept substantial risk for potentially outsized returns.
Startups pursue venture funding through rounds labeled Series A, B, C, and so on: They closed their Series A venture funding last month.
