Venture capital is an institutionalized form of investment capital that is targeted toward young entrepreneurial ventures and companies in the early stages of development, particularly those with potential for high growth. Such businesses typically do not have significant access to capital markets, principally because of the high risk of the investment and little or no collateral. Prior to venture capital financing, these companies often rely on self‐financing (so‐called bootstrap financing) and investments from wealthy individuals or family members (so‐called angel investors). Generally, the types of companies that receive venture capital financing are pioneers in developing products based on new, cutting‐edge technologies, but any entrepreneurial venture with exceptional growth potential is a candidate for venture capital financing
