Raising Venture Capital

Abstract

The word “venture” is synonymous with “risk.” Venture capital investment is risk financing. The investor bases his expectations for return on capital on his assessment of measured exposure. Ferdinand and Isabella, and the other rulers of the fifteenth century, may have been the originators of risk investment for high returns.
