Venture Capital Investments

The average venture capital investment is about $7-8 million. The range is usually around $4 million to over $10 million. Raising venture capital usually takes four to six months.

Venture Capitalists

Venture Capitalists (VCs) typically manage other people’s money so their primary goal is to secure a highly competitive rate of return for their investors. Their investors are typically large institutional investors, such as state pension funds or endowments.

In order to compensate for the significant risk for most venture capital investments, a high rate of return is expected. Out of 10 investments for a VC, most expect three to fail, three or more to neither fail nor be very successful and three companies to be grand slam home runs, providing for a return of the other 7 companies invested in.
