One of the most important sources of funding for startups with limited operating history that do not have access to capital markets is Venture Capital (“VC”). Venture capitalists own an equity stake in the start-up and have a say in the functioning of the company. Investments are generally made in early stages of a company with long term high growth potential. Most venture capital comes from groups of wealthy investors, investment banks and other financial institutions that pool such investments or partnerships.
