Often, the Venture Capitalist will also provide management and technical assistance, as well as funding, and will sometimes demand up to a 50% ownership interest in the company in return for the risk the Venture Capitalist has assumed in making the loans. The Venture Capitalist can be a wealthy individual, a Venture Capital Firm or a Venture Capital Fund.
