venture investor – an individual or institution who
invests in early-stage companies; typically, people or organizations who
purchase the privately-held, illiquid equity (stock) of startup companies.
Venture investors may include angels (high-net-worth individuals), private
venture capital firms, or corporate venture capital groups.
