Private Equity
El capital inversión (del inglés private equity) es un tipo de actividad financiera que consiste en la adquisición, por parte de una entidad especializada en capital inversión, del paquete mayoritario de acciones de una sociedad. La entidad de capital inversión se convierte de esta manera en el propietario mayoritario de la sociedad, normalmente de forma temporal, ya que transcurrido un tiempo se suele realizar la venta de las acciones compradas. El plazo de mantenimiento de la inversión es variable, normalmente en función del éxito de la actividad desarrollada, ya que el objeto de la inversión no es la tenencia en sí de las acciones sino la obtención de una rentabilidad en la operación. Esta actuación no tiene por qué suponer la captación de nuevos fondos para la sociedad transmitida.
Venture Capital
El capital riesgo (conocido asimismo en Hispanoamérica como capital emprendedor) consiste en financiar empresas incipientes en fase de crecimiento con elevado potencial y riesgo.

Private Equity
In the field of finance, the term private equity (PE) refers to investment funds, usually limited partnerships (LP), which buy and restructure financially weak companies that produce goods and provide services. A private-equity fund is both a type of ownership of assets (financial equity) and is a class of assets (debt securities and equity securities), which function as modes of financial management for operating private companies that are not publicly traded in a stock exchange
Venture Capital
Venture capital (often abbreviated as VC) is a form of private equityfinancing that is provided by venture capital firms or funds to startups, early-stage, and emerging companies that have been deemed to have high growth potential or which have demonstrated high growth (in terms of number of employees, annual revenue, scale of operations, etc). Venture capital firms or funds invest in these early-stage companies in exchange for equity, or an ownership stake. Venture capitalists take on the risk of financing risky start-ups in the hopes that some of the firms they support will become successful. Because startups face high uncertainty, VC investments have high rates of failure. The start-ups are usually based on an innovative technology or business model and they are usually from high technology industries, such as information technology (IT), clean technology or biotechnology.
