Do Venture Capitalists invest in player company?

Post by Syavash »

Based on my limited experience, it seems like venture capitalists only buy stakes in companies at the beginning of the game and then don't really don't anything. Is there a way to get them to invest on your company after that (before IPO obviously) and is there a possibility that they will do it?

I also would like to know how often, if at all, they engage in stock trading. The documents say not usually, does that mean never?

I have never seen this, but I'd imagine that it only happens when you go public and issue a huge IPO.

Alternatively, a new function would be required to ask for Angel VC money, but then how can the AI make a choice between each company asking for VC money? In the IPO case, it would check the existing firms and decide on the type and profitability of those firms.
