F.N.B. Capital is not a venture capital firm. Venture capital involves investing in early stage companies that do not have a long operating history (if any). It is considered a subset of private equity focused on investments in new and emerging companies. Venture capital candidates have little to no revenues, but tremendous growth opportunities. As such, these types of investments involve a much higher level of risk.
