Early Stage Venture Capital (ESVC) is the process of making investments in startup companies that have either just launched or are still in their infancy stages. ESVC involves investing in a company’s potential for success before it can access traditional financial sources, and often requires taking on a more hands-on approach with the businesses in order to guide them toward achieving their full potential. By providing both capital and expertise, ESVC helps to foster innovation and bring new products to market.
