How does a small minority business access and utilize venture capital?
A small minority business would utilize venture capital just like any other business: They would take on the VC as a partner, and use the capital to grow the business, eventually exiting the business, creating a substantial return for the investors.
Accessing the capital is no different than any other business. Investors are interested in making a return on their investment, not the demographic profile of the owner. There are however, VC funds set up that solely invest in minority-owned businesses. Now, being a minority doesn't necessarily get you a check, it just gets you in the door. You still have to have a good business that will make money for the investors.
