Venture Capital Companies
Venture capital companies are based on the pooled funds of investors, whose money is then used to provide growth or start-up capital for other companies. This pooled investment is called a venture capital fund. The venture capital company then enters into a partnership with the business in which they invest. The firm is a general partner in the company, while the investors in the venture capital fund are limited partners.
Locating companies in which to invest is a task performed by the venture partners. They bring investment opportunities into the venture capital company and get paid based on the number of deals they bring to the company. Before investing in a business, venture capital companies will often hire an entrepreneur in residence, an expert in a particular field, to perform due diligence (thorough research) on companies being considered for investment.
An entrepreneur in residence typically works for a venture capital company for only a short period of time, around six months to a year and a half. During this time they will evaluate the growth potential of a particular business and present ideas to the venture capital company on how said business should be run and what direction it should go in.
