Venture Capital Funding refers to any type of funding or financing that is provided by a VC investor to help either a start-up company or a company looking for growth capital or even a company looking for financing to execute a merger or acquisition.

VC Funding has significantly increased over the past ten years.  It has increased not only in the number of deals funded each year but also in terms of the size of deals getting financed.

The structure of each deal has also gone through an evolution. VC Firms now have a variety of structures and different combinations of debt and equity they use when then finance a particular deal.

VC Firms and Hedge Funds have also gone through an evolution over the years. VC Firms typically invested only in private companies and Hedge Funds typically only invested in public companies. The reason for this was because VC Firms have traditionally been more long term investors (two to five years), whereas Hedge Funds have typically been more short term investors (less than two years).

There has evolved in recent years the Venture Capital Hybrid, which does not only invest in private companies, but will also look at investments in public companies as well. Some of the reasons why this VC Hybrid now looks at public companies, as well as private companies, is because they have so much more money to manage and the lack of quality deals to fund.  The fact that the public deals have more liquidity with their publicly trading stock does hurt either.
