In our time, almost any business is associated withcertain risks. It's no secret that the probability of burning out in our days is greater than ever before. Nevertheless, there are daredevils who create structures, firms that invest money in the development of various new trends. It is about such an organization, whose name is "venture company", and will be discussed in this article.
Definition
First of all, let's look at theThe concept, which, in principle, most recently entered our conversational speech. So, a venture company is a specially created enterprise, the end product of which are various innovations (that is, innovations) related to risk. These innovations can be in a variety of industries: in the organization of production, research, technology, marketing, etc.
Such a company is, in fact, the initial stage of development of the required product, which deals with:
- selection and development of a technical, scientific idea, its implementation;
- creation of the required models or samples for their subsequent transfer to the stage of industrial production.
As a rule, in the overwhelming majority of cases, after the venture project is completed, the company itself also ceases to exist.
Features
Venture business in its current form wasis formed in the widely known Silicon Valley, located in the United States of America, and from there these activities began to spread across all dynamically developing powers, but with their own national differences. Venture activity is developed in China, India, Brazil and other large countries of the world.
Technology, developed on the basis of the venture, giveThe possibility for a state with a developing economy to overtake developed countries in terms of per capita income after a certain period of time. For example: New Zealand is a country with the most developed agriculture on the planet, but at the same time it is located at the bottom of the list of developed countries in terms of GDP. At the same time, Singapore has brought its GDP indicator to the level of the leading countries of the world due to the fact that it has a very developed venture market.
Terms of development
It is important to note that in those countries in which venture activity has become widespread, the following have been used:
- investment from the state in the company;
- the country's investment in a variety of private venture funds;
- mixed investment option.
The venture company will develop successfully only in those cases when:
- there is a long-term innovative state policy and an updated program for co-financing such activities;
- there are significant investments in the dynamic development of the professional qualities of people, which, in fact, are the basis for effective venture work;
- there are venture entrepreneurs and venture managers;
- developed applied and fundamental sciences, through which they produce new discoveries, innovations and inventions;
- there is a developed, modern educational system;
- there is a competitive environment.
Favorable industries
The best for any venturecompany directions are those where the life cycle of the products, goods or services being formed is small. For example, in microelectronics in the United States, this period is on average four to five years. Back in the 1980s, the total capital that accounted for all venture capital organizations in the US was almost $ 15 billion.
Registration in Russia
