Venture Capital Fund Management Fees

Venture capital fund managers demand considerable payment for their services, this fee is negotiated with investors in the contract. Venture capital fund managers are compensated similarly to hedge funds, recieving an annual fees involving a share of the invested money and the success of the fund. A common arrangement is 2 and 20: every year the manager receives 2% of the capital invested and 20% of net profits of the fund. This is not a rule and often varies with different investors and companies. In recent years venture capital funds have increased from the 20% arrangement to compensate for frequent failed ventures.

Angel Investors Definition

An angel investor is a wealthy individual who provides capital to an expanding small business. An angel investor typically invests his own private money, unlike collective venture capital funds. The angel invests in the startup process and has a personal stake in the company's success.

Similar to venture capital investments, angel investors are vulnerable to a high risk of failure, but if the company is successful the possible returns are equally high. Startup businesses often fail, costing angel investors large sums of money. Angel investors compensate for this by demanding a high percentage of any success. Angel investors are an important way for small businesses to gather the capital necessary for major expansion.
