The purpose of this research is to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of venture capital, including angel financing & seed capital, early stage venture capital, and late stage venture capital. In the late 1990s, the venture capital market grew crazily. Start up companies with product concepts but often limited revenues raised significant funds. These monies came from venture capital funds. But in the early 2000s, the venture capital market fell apart with the dot com implosion. Today the venture capital market is booming again. This research is incorporated into Tiburon's broader coverage of private markets and its even broader coverage of alternative investments.
