Venture capital is the term used to call the financial resources provided by investors to startup firms and small businesses that show potential for long-term growth. It has become a very important source of capital for entrepreneurs, who often have problems with financing their needs through risk-averse banks. Venture capital investments incorporate a high level of risk as only some of the VC-backed companies develop into successful and highly profitable businesses. In 2020, the leading venture capital backed company worldwide was the Manbang Group, which based in Nanjing, China.
