Venture capital, or risk capital in Spanish, is a type of financing that provides capital to startups in exchange for a smaller percentage of ownership.

These are companies that are at an early stage of development, where there is high uncertainty and associated risk, where the name of this type of strategy is derived, but with a high potential for growth and return on investment.

One of the fundamental pillars of Venture Capital is the impact that these investments generate in society, where in addition to providing financing options to many companies, they have an impact on the economies of different countries. According to a study by Oxford Economics, for every dollar invested in VC, 7 dollars remain in the economy of that country.
