Raising Funds

Venture firms provide growth capital to new or young companies in exchange for a minority equity position in the company. Most venture firms specialize in certain industries including telecommunications, software, biotechnology, healthcare devices, and the Internet. Because of their specialization and capital, venture firms help new or young companies grow rapidly. In fact, they will only back companies that can achieve very high growth in sales and earnings.

Buyout firms typically buy controlling interest in older companies operating in rapidly growing or fragmented industries. Generally they buy a business to serve as a platform for acquiring other companies in the same or complimentary industries. Buyout firms target certain industries, but they usually have a broader focus than venture firms and target more industries. Both venture firms and buyout groups invest capital to help companies accelerate sales, add new products, expand operations, or acquire other companies. Both groups will require board representation and the ability to replace management in the event that the company does not perform as expected.
