About Venture Capitalism

Venture capitalists supply funds and financing to businesses and organizations, who otherwise would have to go out and obtain a loan on their own. Traditionally, venture capitalists banked young companies and received ownership shares in return—sometimes even acquiring a majority share of ownership as part of the agreement.

A social venture operates rather differently from standard venture capitalism. This refers to a business venture that is working to promote a social good while also achieving financial success. You may also have heard of these types of organizations referred to as “cause capitalism.”

The number of companies and groups that classify as social ventures is vast. Some examples include:

-A for-profit company that donates some of its products or services to those in need.
-A group organizing homebuilding and other charitable works.
-A company that provides needed items at affordable prices, such as eyewear or dental care
