Abstract
Venture Capital (VC) has become a chosen tool of investment in the areas of business where there seems to be potent promise but yet immature in terms of market, customer acceptance and political dynamics. Such uncertainties make bankers both nervous and hesitant,and where the risk takers like venture capitals thrive. In the first part of the article we discussed about how mineral,oil& gas and energy companies are becoming both investors of VC and attractive destinations for investment by other VCs. The VCs are mostly either Private Equities (PE) or the venture funds of established companies. They mostly invest in emerging technologies and risky, yet promising, opportunities. In this part we discuss how the risks are assessed and mitigated, what takes one to be the VC fund manager and the current dynamics in the VC investments. Risky as they are, VC investors always look for reasonable profit to exit investments, for the next set of investors to pursue the opportunities with the omnipresent risks.
