For example, here is what Quicken says in its glossary is the meaning of venture capital.
quicken.com
Venture capital

A mid-to-long term start-up or expansion loan extended to a
growing business in exchange for equity in the business.
Because the market potential of these companies is frequently
disproportionate to tangible assets or other collateral, standard
bank financing is often unavailable to them. This has given rise
to venture capital companies trained to evaluate long-term
potential and interested in finding new or growing companies to
invest in.
=================================================
Many of you probably were not aware that venture capital is a loan.
And were you also aware that the banks won't lend to start-up firms because their market potential is so huge?
