Valuation
Valuation is the analytical process of determining the current (or projected) worth of an asset or a company. In the context of private capital, valuation is critical for determining how much a company is worth in terms of market, asset-based, and return-on-investment perspectives.
Voting
Voting rights are the rights given to shareholders to vote on important corporate matters, such as electing directors or approving company policies. Voting typically occurs at a company’s annual meeting or through proxy voting.
Venture Capitalist
A venture capitalist is an investor who provides capital to startups and small businesses with perceived long-term growth potential. This is a very risky, yet potentially rewarding, form of investing that involves early or growth stage companies.
