What is the difference between Private Equity and Venture Capital?

This is a great question.

Venture capital is normally thought of as an investment in a start-up business. Generally, new companies look for venture capital when they are early stage and do not have access to catpial markets.

Private equity on the other hand does not have to be early stage money. It is money invested in companies in pretty much all stages. (You read about private equity companies taking public companies private, for example).

Hope that helps.
