PE/VC investors
Private Equity (PE) and Venture Capital (VC) investors are the catalysts of innovation and growth in the business world. PE firms primarily target established companies, seeking to optimize operations and unlock value through strategic investments and management expertise. They focus on long-term growth and profitability, often preparing businesses for a future sale or IPO. VC investors, by contrast, are the adventurers of finance, injecting capital into high-potential startups and early-stage companies. They embrace risk for the possibility of outsized returns, often becoming invaluable advisors. Both investor types not only bring capital but also strategic guidance, industry connections, and market insights, propelling their portfolio companies towards success.

Venture Philanthropy and Social Venturing Services for Funds, Families and Foundations.
<br />
<br />
Venture philanthropy is a type of philanthropy in which methods and techniques from the world of venture capitalism are applied, for example, long-term investment and the provision of non-financial support. Organisations that are supported in this manner vary from traditional charities, to charitable organisations whose activities also generate a small turnover, to commercial ventures that strive towards particular social objectives. The organisations are often structured and shaped in accordance with how the country and culture in question dictate. The most important aspects of venture philanthropy are:
<br />
<br />
* Commitment
<br />
* Made-to-measure financing
<br />
* Long-term support
<br />
* Non-financial support
<br />
* Attention to organisational development
<br />
* Formulation of objectives and management of results
<br />
<br />
Venture philanthropists focus on a broad spectrum of organisations. They are not only involved with charities whose existence depends on donations and subsidies, and they are not only involved with non-profit organisations. They also invest in organisations that generate turnover.

Social venturing is using expertise, vision and financial resources to invest in projects that are inaccessible to commercial investors and ineligible for government subsidies.
