February 29, 2008, Newsletter Issue #148: What is Venture Capitalism?

Tip of the Week

By definition, venture capitalism is a monetary system based on the trade of wealth, in other words, a business or an individual, and the people or companies invest in an innovative enterprise where potential profits are large.

In more simple terms, it is the opportunity to invest in a young company that has the potential to grow into a big enterprise. Imagine someone who runs a great hamburger restaurant. He wants to expand his business by opening a restaurant in another city. He may ask for investors to invest in his company. In exchange, when the company succeeds and finds a profit, the investor may see a return on his investment with interest or he shares a percentage of the profits.
