Venture capitalists are companies that invest in startups with money that they themselves have received from “Limited Partners”: banks, pension funds, or wealthy individuals. The Limited Partners seek high returns on investment, and so the VCs seek startups that can deliver this return: companies that are not listed on the stock exchange, that can achieve high growth rates but that need money to make it happen.

Venture capitalists are companies that trade stock on the stock exchange. They receive money from “Limited Partners”: banks, pension funds, or wealthy individuals. The Limited Partners seek high returns on investment, and so the VCs use artificial intelligence to seek out the best stocks on the stock exchange to invest.

Venture capitalists are risk-lovers. They seek the same sense of adventure, fun and adrenaline as extreme sportsmen or casino players when jumping off a cliff or winning the big lottery. Yet instead of seeking cliffs or casinos, they seek it in tech startups. The bigger the risk, the bigger the thrill!

Venture capitalists are very wealthy individuals that buy startups at a low valuation (euro value of the company), restructure them and sell them off at a higher valuation. They are therefore looking for companies that are in a bad state in attractive markets.
