Venture Capital

Venture capital is a type of investing to small, early-stage, emerging firms that are deemed to have high growth potential, or which have demonstrated high growth.  Blue Chip Macro invests in these early-stage companies on your behalf in exchange for an ownership stake.

The typical venture capital investment occurs after an initial "seed funding" round. The first round of institutional venture capital to fund growth is called the Series A round. Venture capitalists provide this financing in the interest of generating a return through an eventual "exit" event, such as the company selling shares to the public for the first time in an initial public offering (IPO) or doing a merger and acquisition.  Alternatively, an exit may come about via the private equity secondary market.

Features of Venture Capital investments:

• High Risk
• Lack of Liquidity
• Long term horizon
• Equity participation and potential for large capital gains
• Venture capital investments are made in innovative projects
• Suppliers of venture capital participate in the management of the company
