Venture funds, also known as venture capital funds, are investment pools that provide money to startups and early-stage companies with high growth potential. These funds are managed by professionals who select promising businesses to support in exchange for equity—or ownership—stakes. The goal is to help companies grow rapidly, aiming for a big payoff when the business succeeds, often through a sale or public offering. Venture funds are risky, as many startups may fail, but they offer the chance for significant returns if selected ventures thrive. They play a key role in fostering innovation and new industries.
