Glossary of Venture Capital Terms

Just came across this comprehensive list of terms used in private equity and venture capital transactions.

It covers everything from Accredited Investor to Weighted Average Antidilution.

This document is another excellent example of Education-Based Marketing from a site called VCExperts.com You can download the glossary as a Word or html document or refer to it online.

VCExperts.com makes their money by providing information, training and publications targeting people on every side of a private equity transaction. They claim to have over 50,000 users per month.

I can tell you from my own experience that being able to speak the language of private equity is critical for anyone “venturing” into the world of venture capital. You don’t want to find yourself across the table from a Type A investment banker or VC, not being able to track what they are saying. With that having been said, understanding their lexicon is only your first challenge!

Nonetheless, this glossary and VCExperts.com appear to be great resources for you to tap into.
