VENTURE CAPITAL

Venture capital is for companies who are willing to exchange equity in the company in return for money to grow or expand the business. Venture capital firms often want a high rate of return (20+) and will finance the businesses with $500,000 and above. Typical VC's fund companies with a proven track record, however, some may fund start-up companies that have an opportunity for rapid growth.
