    Venture Capital investment is also referred to risk capital or patient risk capital, as it includes the risk of losing the money if the venture doesn’t succeed and takes medium to long term period for the investments to fructify.

    Venture Capital typically comes from institutional investors and high net worth individuals and is pooled together by dedicated investment firms.

    It is the money provided by an outside investor to finance a new, growing, or troubled business. The venture capitalist provides the funding knowing that there’s a significant risk associated with the company’s future profits and cash flow. Capital is invested in exchange for an equity stake in the business rather than given as a loan.

    Venture Capital is the most suitable option for funding a costly capital source for companies and most for businesses having large up-front capital requirements which have no other cheap alternatives. Software and other intellectual property are generally the most common cases whose value is unproven. That is why; Venture capital funding is most widespread in the fast-growing technology and biotechnology fields.

    The initial step in approaching a Venture Capital is to submit a business plan. The plan should include the below points:

    • There should be an executive summary of the business proposal
    • Description of the opportunity and the market potential and size
    • Review on the existing and expected competitive scenario
    • Detailed financial projections
    • Details of the management of the company

    There is detailed analysis done of the submitted plan, by the Venture Capital to decide whether to take up the project or no.

    Step 2: Introductory Meeting

    Once the preliminary study is done by the VC and they find the project as per their preferences, there is a one-to-one meeting that is called for discussing the project in detail. After the meeting the VC finally decides whether or not to move forward to the due diligence stage of the process.

    Step 3: Due Diligence

    The due diligence phase varies depending upon the nature of the business proposal. This process involves solving of queries related to customer references, product and business strategy evaluations, management interviews, and other such exchanges of information during this time period.

    Step 4: Term Sheets and Funding

    If the due diligence phase is satisfactory, the VC offers a term sheet, which is a non-binding document explaining the basic terms and conditions of the investment agreement. The term sheet is generally negotiable and must be agreed upon by all parties, after which on completion of legal documents and legal due diligence, funds are made available.
