say, 5-10 years at a minimum to come out commercially successful; one should, thus, be able
to wait patiently for the outcome of the venture.
 Lack of liquidity(the quality of being capable of exchange or interchange.): Since the project
is expected to run at start-up stage for several years, liquidity may be a greater problem.
 High risk: The risk of the project is associated with management, product and operations.
 High-tech: However, a venture capitalist looks not only for high-technology but
the innovativeness through which the project can succeed.
 Equity(fairness) participation and capital gains: A venture capitalist invests his money in
terms of equity. He does not look for any dividend(a sum of money paid regularly) or other
benefits, but when the project commercially succeeds, then he can enjoy the capital gain
which is his main benefit.
 Participation in management: Unlike the traditional financier or banker, the venture capitalist
can provide managerial expertise to entrepreneurs besides money.
