Venture Capital Corporation

A venture capital corporation (VCC) is formed for the sole purpose of investing in start-ups and emerging and expanding eligible small businesses.

VCCs are usually managed by venture capitalists or angel investors who provide small businesses with the benefit of their expertise, experience, and business knowledge.
