Venture capital (Swedish: riskkapital) is capital invested in companies with high risk and high growth potential, usually unlisted companies at an early stage. The investor normally receives shares in return. Venture capital comes, for example, from venture capital firms and business angels.
An investment is often made through a new share issue and governed by an investment agreement and a shareholders' agreement. Each round changes the ownership stakes, so an up-to-date cap table and share ledger are important ahead of the next capital raising.
A business angel is a private individual who invests their own capital in a company at an early stage.
