Venture Capital
Venture capital comes from professionally managed funds that have $1 million to $1 billion to invest in emerging growth companies. High-growth companies that are capable of reaching at least $25 million in sales in five years are very good candidates for venture capital.
Venture capital can be utilized from financing product development to expansion of a proven and profitable product or service. However, institutional venture capital investors demand significant equity in a business. The earlier the investment stage, the more equity is required to convince an institutional venture capitalist to invest. The range of funds typically available is $500,000 to $10 million.
Venture capital investors and private equity investors like to "cherry-pick" companies that meet their investment criteria. Compounding the degree of difficulty is the fact that institutional venture capital is an appropriate source of funding for a limited number of companies.
