Venture capital has financed many of the world's most successful corporations including Apple, Amazon, Intel and Starbucks. The very best VC funds consistently out-perform, though the average returns for the industry have been less than stellar, particularly in Europe. Finance for early-stage fast-growth technology companies in Europe is now provided by a handful of players as many firms move to the less risky later-stage and growth deals.
