Corporate venture capital

Corporate venture capital is when a company gives money to start-up companies. The company usually gives money in exchange for a share of the start-up company. This helps the start-up company get the money they need to start their business and make it successful. The company giving the money hopes to get a profit from their investment in the start-up company, which could be a share of any money the start-up makes, or when the start-up company is bought by another company.
