4. Different forms of venture capital
4.1 Protecting venture capital
Beyond the use of identical financing techniques, the term venture capital covers a range of significantly different activities. These differ in terms of :
target sector – typically information and communication technologies (ICT), life sciences and now clean technologies;
development stages of the companies financed ;
In terms of the origin of the capital invested, a financial venture capital fund differs from a corporate venture capital fund.
So it's important to define your needs and identify the venture capital funds that can meet them.
