About venture capital funding.
-

Venture capital (also known as VC or Venture) is a type of private equity capital typically provided to early-stage, high-potential, growth companies where the rewards are years out and carry a high risk.

Oklahoma's venture tax credit program was intended to incentivize that venture capital funding needed by rewarding investors tax credits worth 20 to 30% of their at risk investment.
