Venture Capital
Definition
Money invested in early-stage, high-growth companies in exchange for an ownership stake.
Why it matters
Venture capital can fuel fast growth, but it comes with expectations of large returns and some loss of control.
Example
A founder raises venture capital to scale her app quickly rather than growing slowly on revenue alone.
