Venture capital involves groups of wealthy investors and financial institutions providing funds to startup companies and small businesses with high growth potential. To value a venture capital investment, one must identify the capital amount, target rate of return, estimate the multiple of the original investment, project the firm's future market value, and estimate the percentage of that value the investors can expect to receive. Examples include Tencent and Google investing in the healthcare startup Practo and Alibaba investing in the Indian digital payments firm Paytm.
