Venture Capital
A venture capitalist is an investor that funds startups with very high growth potential. This form of funding is quite rare and is usually only available for companies that are growing very quickly, or have already received at least one round of seed funding from an angel investor.
A venture capitalist will play a large role in the day to day running of the business, taking a role of an associate or a partner. Many startups aren’t comfortable with relinquishing control over their business and this kind of investment can consume large amounts of time and energy.
