The VC Market in Vietnam

Vietnam Flag

Venture capital is funding that is invested into a business in order to help them grow and succeed. VC is not simply a financial loan, but rather it is a long term commitment which involves capital to help the company grow. Usually the entrepreneur needs funding for startup, expansions, revitalization, or even to buy into a business. A venture capitalist like Efraim Landa provides the funds that are needed for the growth, but by risking the investment which may or may not pay out in the long run, they are committing to work with the company to ensure its success. The goal is to provide support and mentoring in order to help the business achieve a level of success through which the business can make a public offering or sell out. The venture capitalist sometimes will also sell out their shares in the business once it has achieved a high level of success thereby realizing a return on the amount that was invested at the startup. VC is not new, but some areas of the world are just beginning to understand just how beneficial it can be to the nation’s economic climate.
