Venture Capitalist

A Venture Capitalist or ‘VC’ is a private equity investor who identifies and provides capital to companies in exchange for an equity stake. A Venture Capitalist can be an individual or a firm which invests in early-stage companies with high-growth potential.
The companies can be startups or small companies with potential for expansion but do not have other sources for funding or are not yet ready for accessing equity markets. A VC invests in these companies and may also work with them.
