The venture capital industry as an institution is a good example that prides itself on nursing companies, rather than just financing them.
The underlying assumption is that the entrepreneur and the venture capitalist would act together in the interest of the enterprise as 'partners.
Venture capital is the capital available for financing a new business venture. It is also often thought of as the early stage financing of new and young enterprises seeking to grow rapidly.

CONCLUSION
Venture capital (VC) firms, as it happens, are still investing. While the pace of investments has slowed down on an industry-wide basis, the venture capital firms are becoming more restrictive about the industries in which they are willing to invest, but we can conclude that VCs not only want to continue to invest in Indian start-ups in areas they are most familiar with, i.e., in IT, telecom and Internet related products and services but also to initiate potential investments in the rapidly emerging sectors.
