Venture capital investors are professional investors or investment funds who invest in start-ups. They provide risk capital to financially support start-ups in the early corporate or growth phase. They receive shares in the company in exchange for their investment. This type of investor is looking for promising start-ups with the potential to generate high returns in a short amount of time. They generally assume a certain amount of risk as start-ups often have no established business model or stable revenue sources in their initial phase.

A financing round is a process in which a company collects capital from external investors to support its growth or other strategic goals. The company identifies potential investors, presents its business concept and holds negotiations on the investment conditions. As soon as an agreement is reached, the capital is contributed. KPMG Matchmaker facilitates companies' search for investors and supports them in securing the capital needed for their growth.
