Venture capital is a type of financing in which professional investment firms provide equity funding to startups and young companies with high growth potential. VC firms raise money from institutional investors and deploy it into early‑stage businesses through structured investment rounds such as Seed, Series A, Series B, and beyond.
In addition to capital, venture capitalists often provide strategic guidance, industry connections, operational support, and governance oversight to help founders scale their companies. Venture capital plays a critical role in driving innovation, job creation, and the development of new technologies.
