Venture Capital Funds, another form of private equity, provides financing to small, early-stage, emerging Startup companies that are deemed to have high growth potential, or which have demonstrated high growth.
The start-ups are usually based on an innovative technology or business model and they are usually from the high technology industries, such as information technology (IT), clean technology or biotechnology. These Startup companies have a limited operating history (under two years), making the investment more risky for us, but the potential for above-average returns is an attractive payoff. We help the portfolio companies grow with mentoring, technical expertise and networking.
