Private equity refers to investment funds that acquire equity ownership in companies not publicly traded on stock exchanges. PE firms raise capital from institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals to buy, improve, and eventually sell companies for profit. Strategies include leveraged buyouts, growth equity, and distressed investments. ## What Is Venture Capital? Venture capital is a form of private equity financing provided to early-stage, high-potential startups in exchange for equity. VC firms invest in companies with strong growth prospects, typically in technology, healthcare, and other innovative sectors.
