Chapter 2177 - 2137: Venture Capital Companies

After leaving the hospital, Ye Qiu, Miranda, and Xia Jing got into the car, ready to visit Silicon Valley again.

Taking a taxi to Silicon Valley, the three got out of the car and found that Silicon Valley was still the same as yesterday.

The weather here is very good.

Although there are many high-tech companies, there is basically no pollution here; it’s all blue skies and white clouds, and being near the sea, the environment is very suitable for living and working.

Now that Ye Qiu is here, he mainly wants to check out the situation of the venture capital companies here.

Two-thirds of America’s venture capital companies are located in Silicon Valley.

These venture capital companies focus on investing in high-tech and even website-related companies.

Companies like Apple, Google, Microsoft, for instance.

At first, they may seem unimpressive, but with the support and development from these venture capital companies, after getting listed on America’s Wall Street, their valuation grows higher.

Even up to trillions of dollars.

A trillion-dollar company’s GDP exceeds that of many countries combined.

Initially, those venture capital companies only invested a small amount of money, but now the returns are thousandfold, even ten-thousandfold.

Of course, the speed of these returns is quite fast.

It only takes a few years.

This grows faster than printing money.

Because of this, there are so many venture capital companies here.

However, venture capital companies need vision; without it, investments can result in bankruptcy during the second or third round, and the initial investment would vanish completely.

Doing business cannot guarantee profits every time.

It depends on the level of the venture capital company.

Now Ye Qiu, along with the two women, has come to see this.

While calling Robit, Robit had already returned to Silicon Valley.

Because he had already secured that ninety million.

Besides returning some money to other investment companies, the rest naturally serves as the company’s working capital.

Upon seeing it’s Ye Qiu calling, he quickly asked after answering, "Mr. Ye, what’s the matter?"

"I just arrived in Silicon Valley, not far from your company, come down."

Ye Qiu has arrived?

While having breakfast earlier, Ye Qiu had mentioned it.

When Robit came downstairs, he indeed saw Ye Qiu and those two young beauties.

"Mr. Ye," Robit greeted.

"I want to come and see the situation with the venture capital companies here."

Venture capital companies?

Quickly, Robit understood that this young man definitely wanted to establish such a venture capital company.

This essentially belongs to the venture fund category, a type of capital company.

In America, many great companies grow from being valued at several million dollars to hundreds of billions, even over a trillion dollar venture capital companies exist.

Previously, Robit always hoped to receive the support of such companies.

However, actually, apart from the first round of venture capital because they saw him as an MIT graduate, they invested in him.

But after seeing no notable achievements, there were no more venture capital companies investing in his company.

Such companies, in Silicon Valley, if not in thousands, there are at least hundreds.

Anyway, many tech companies are controlled by these capital companies.

Furthermore, these capital companies have only one purpose: to get the company listed and obtain a high return.

Many venture companies not only assess a certain level of risk but also impose a time limit, so they won’t allow too much time for development.

"Mr. Ye, do you want to establish such a company?" Robit asked.

Since Ye Qiu can directly invest in his company, Ye Qiu can also invest in others.

Of course, Ye Qiu can also establish such a company and have someone manage it directly.

"Yes."

"Such companies are particularly numerous in America, especially in Silicon Valley," Robit said.

Of course, there is so-called competition.

Actually, it depends on whether there are good investment projects.

If there are good investment projects, capital will flow in crazily.

Previously, when some popular trends appeared, many such capital companies would invest heavily initially.

However, it’s quite possible the project won’t be hot the next year, and afterwards, there wouldn’t be as much funding.

As for small venture capital companies, due to limited funds, they have to be much more cautious, not comparable to those large investment firms.

Famous ones like Sequoia Capital, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, etc., these venture capital companies are very large; they are involved in various major industries.

Moreover, besides focusing on America’s domestic company situations, they have a presence worldwide, like in Huaxia, other Asian countries, Europe, and so on; their presence is nearly ubiquitous.

Because these companies are extremely wealthy.

"However, many venture capital companies also collapse."

Because this belongs to high-risk investments, similar to stock speculation, the risk is very high, and many investment funds range from several million US dollars, tens of millions, even millions of dollars.

If invested without returns, small companies with problematic cash flow may directly collapse.

While Ye Qiu is in Hong Kong, he actually has already established such a company.

Primarily aimed at the stock market and venture capital company situations in Hong Kong.

However, Ye Qiu doesn’t want any connection between Hong Kong and here or even domestically, so here, it certainly operates separately.

"So, the risk in this industry is indeed very high!"

"Indeed, many real industry sectors might not withstand even two or three rounds initially and have no chance to go public. Such companies collapse directly, leaving investment companies with nothing."

Actually, Robit clearly understands, like his robot company almost faced this situation.

If it weren’t for Ye Qiu, it would probably not only implicate those venture capital companies, but also himself.

However, starting a business carries risk, there’s no need to mention that.

"Mr. Ye, let me personally take you to see these venture capital companies here!"

Driving Ye Qiu and the three to the investment companies, Robit showed them; all these were world-famous venture capital companies in sight.

Like America’s top ten venture capital companies all have their skyscrapers here.

Such as Intel Investment, Sequoia Capital, Carlyle Investment Group, Goldman Sachs Investment Group, etc., all have their own buildings and office locations here.

As for small investment companies, there are quite a few.

Anyway, this industry, like others, some grow larger while others collapse, some new ones emerge, those that survive and continuously grow are not ordinary companies.
