Abstract

Venture capital is capital provided by a wealthy individual or group of individuals for relatively new, high-growth companies that have a reasonable, though not certain, prospective to develop into highly profitable ventures. Most of the well-known companies from the tech world were initially funded by VCs. Innovation is fueled and funded by VC investments. As traditional sources of capital become scarce for new technology companies, VC funds come to the rescue. This article details the development of VC markets and outlines a few industry standards. The article also examines the trends in the VC markets in recent times. Though the VC industry went through a period of downturn after the Internet crash, by the mid-2004, the venture capital investments seem to be on a rise again.
