What Are Venture Capital (VC) Funds?
A Venture Capital Fund is a pooled investment vehicle that invests in early-stage startups and emerging companies with high growth potential. Unlike traditional private equity, VC focuses on innovation, disruption, and long-term scalability — often before companies are profitable.
VC funds take equity stakes in startups and aim to exit through:
IPOs
Mergers & acquisitions (M&A)
Secondary sales
Structure of a VC Fund
Limited Partners (LPs)
Provide capital (institutions, family offices, etc.)
General Partner (GP)
Manages the fund and makes investment decisions
Fund Life Cycle
Typically 10 years (investment + exit phase)
VC Fund Lifecycle
Fundraising Phase GPs raise capital from LPs.
Investment Phase (Years 1–4) Capital deployed into startups via seed, Series A/B rounds.
Support Phase GPs help grow companies: board seats, strategic support, hiring.
Exit Phase (Years 5–10) Exit via IPO, acquisition, or secondary share sale.
Return Distribution Profits returned to LPs minus GP's “carry” (typically 20%).
