| Description | Venture capital is a form of private equity and a type of financing that investors provide to earlier-stage companies that are believed to have long-term growth potential. This normally involves a form of direct equity injection or convertible instrument injection to a company at its R&D stage to benefit business growth through capital appreciation. Given a VC does not require a company to mature before investing, it played a critical role at funding healthcare digitalization in the past two decades. As the size of venture capital AUM grow from millions into billions, the new approach of VC funding a company from the idea stage all the way to the IPO stage, bypassing traditional players, becomes more popular. A popular example would be Sequoia Capital, who would 730inject into the cap-table from the earlier stage to the late growth stage as shown from many examples of its famous investments. This has ensured a fund to push out a new disruptive process or technology into the market with less interruption and resistance, such as the case of Uber. From this perspective, it can be argued that the role of VC is equally important as the role of regulatory bodies in the innovation of healthcare technologies. Book Name: Medical Affairs |
