Venture capital is not like a business loan or debt capital. Venture capital firms do not invest their own money. They are always looking for opportunities to invest the money of their clients. They will not usually invest in a company for the duration of the company’s life but usually on a shorter span like three or five years. During this time, they will not only help the venture with money but will try to provide other resources that could help it grow. In order to be able to support the firm they funded most venture capitalists will invest in an industry or sector they are familiar with and for that reason, finding a suitable investment firm might be tricky.
