Understanding Venture Capital
Venture capital (VC) firms are investment companies that provide capital to early-stage startups in exchange for equity. These firms receive funds from limited partners, such as universities and pension funds, who trust them to invest wisely. Each VC firm typically specializes in certain industries or stages of a company's development, allowing them to become experts in their targeted fields. Primary Venture Partners, for example, focuses on early-stage investments, leading pre-seed and seed rounds, and incubating their own startups.
