iBank - Private Equity Venture Capital

Private Equity Venture Capital

Private equity venture capital is a private investment in a growing business not traded over the stock market. Since the investment is specifically to provide growth capital for the business itself, rather than simply buying shares in the business, a venture capitalist may be made a general partner in the company in which he or she is investing. Some private equity venture capitalists may be looking for a specific type of investment in a specific field or industry. Others may be looking to invest in local companies near to their area.

A venture capitalist is a general partner in the company in which he or she invests, which means they play an executive role. Investors in the venture capital fund will become limited partners, with no management authority and limited liability only to the extent of their investment.

Finding Private Equity Venture Capital
Before investing in a company, a private equity venture capital firm will often have an expert in the type of company in which they want to invest--for example, an entrepreneur in residence--research new or growing businesses in a particular field to find out their growth potential. This process is called due diligence. A venture capital firm will also often have a venture partner who brings deals in to the company and is paid for each deal they bring in.
