Venture Capital Investments
Venture capital is capital provided by private investors (the venture capitalists) or financial institutions for new or expanding businesses. It is usually associated with high growth and high-risk potential technology industries namely medical research, biotechnology, information technology of new software development and property development. Migrants intending to apply for the State Nominated Venture Capital Entrepreneur (Permanent) visa (subclass 132B) must have secured AUD1million in venture capital funding from a member of the Australia Venture Capital Association Limited (AVCAL) to fund the start up or product commercialisation of a high value business idea in Australia.
Venture capital investment is usually characterised by the following key features:
- Control: Through the investment of capital in exchange for a considerable stake in the venture capital company;
- Expertise: Through investing management, marketing, finance and strategic direction expertise in the venture capital company;
- Protection of interests: Through exercising some control through mechanisms such as board representation or management agreements, venture capital investors seek to protect and grow their investment; and
- Performance: The protection of interests and the ability to add value to a venture capital company (through capital investment and expertise) may result in higher returns.
