A quick definition of venture capital:

Venture capital is money that is invested in a new business that has a high risk of failing, but also has the potential to make a lot of money. It is a type of investment where the investor gives money to the business in exchange for a share of ownership. Venture capital is often used to help start-ups grow and develop their products or services.

A more thorough explanation:

Venture capital refers to funds that are invested in a new business venture that has a high risk but also has the potential for a high return. This type of investment is also known as risk capital.

For example, if a group of investors decides to invest in a startup company that is developing a new technology, they are providing venture capital. The investors are taking a risk because the technology may not be successful, but if it is, they could earn a significant return on their investment.

Venture capital is different from other types of funding, such as debt capital, which is raised by issuing bonds, or equity capital, which is provided by a company's owners in exchange for evidence of ownership, such as stock.

This is obviously not true for UVA. Past years show they don't send any non A results until December
