What are the risks of a venture capital?


What are the risks of investing in, or being invested in, as a venture capital?

Venture capital is money FOR investment, not an actual METHOD of making money. A venture capitalist provides money for fledgling businesses. Recently termed private equity. You can throw your money into the pot, or be the sole provider for a venture you think will pan out. Could take several years to pan out. You can lose 100% of your money. Potential payout is big.

One risk is that the Venture Capitalists take such a large % of the company to fund it.I've heard 50% or more.Although I've never invested in anything like that.
best of luck...
