Abstract

The first chapter focuses on the definition of venture capital and its characteristics. It provides a brief overview of venture capital and its underlying concepts that serve as a reference point throughout the entire book. Specifically, the chapter focuses on a number of specific discussion segments, the first of which includes the discussion about where venture capital financing fits into the entrepreneurial finance ecosystem. Secondly, the first chapter provides an overview of the historical trends in the global venture capital industry over the last 20 years. Thirdly, the chapter provides background discussion of venture capital returns in the context of the “promise” made to capital providers (i.e., LPs) by venture capitalists. This section also discusses the maturation of the venture capital industry. Lastly, the chapter ends with a summary of venture capital in the pre-COVID era and the significant, fundamental challenges that the venture capital industry has faced prior to the post COVID era.
