Venture capital is money provided by professionals who invest alongside management companies that have the potential to develop into significant economic contributors. Venture capital funding may be by way of investment in the equity of the new enterprise or by way of debt or a combination of both, though equity is the most preferred route.

 

Venture capitalists generally provide finance for promising start-ups. However, they also invest in companies at various stages of the business life cycle viz.

 

Seed Investing

Invest before there is a real product or company organized

 

Early stage investing

Provide capital to start up a company in its first or second stages of development

 

Expansion stage financing

Provide needed financing to help a company grow beyond a critical mass to become more successful

 

Later stage investing

Providing financing to help the company grow to a critical mass to attract public financing through a stock offering

 

Acquisition, turnaround or recapitalization

Of public and private companies that represent favorable investment opportunities.

The Process Of Venture Capital

 

It is ultimately the quality, experience and work ethic of the investment professional you have chosen that will define the experience and -- we believe -- lead to the optimal outcome.

 

We don't believe there is a better team than ours when it comes to choosing a partner to work with.

 

All members of our investment team have had significant operating experience before becoming venture capitalists. Many of us have been founders and entrepreneurs ourselves. We understand the challenges our entrepreneurs face, and we're not afraid to roll up our sleeves and do whatever it takes to help out.
