Venture Capital is described as an investment in a new business venture that can have both high risk and high return for the investor. A Venture Capital investment can be a risky venture, but if the business is successful, the investor can make a large amount of money on his investment.

Typically Venture Capitalism is associated with technology and technological industries and happens mostly in the US.

The "Dot.Com" boom of the late 90s is most often associated with Venture Capitalism. Many start-up Internet companies and computer companies took over Seattle and the Silicon Valley of California and only a small number of them survived. Many investors and new business owners suffered, but companies like Google, eBay, and MySpace.com have managed to survive and become extremely successful.
