Is Venture Capital Available in Montana?

Last month we described VC firms as limited partnerships in which general partners raise funds from large passive limited partners, such as pension funds, foundation endowments and big corporate investors, and then invest those funds in new ventures. Typical investments by VCs today are rounds of $5 to $20 million in growth and later stage companies (not seed and startup stage companies). We further noted that VCs often invest in follow-on rounds of companies nurtured from start-up by angel investors. VCs tend to invest in high-growth, high-tech firms in business sectors in which the VC general partners have substantial experience.
