Glossary - Venture Partner
A Venture Partner is an individual who functions in a part-time or transitional role within a venture capital firm. Unlike General Partners who typically take on a more active, full-time commitment, Venture Partners may engage on a more flexible basis, contributing their expertise in specific areas, assisting with the evaluation of potential investments, or supporting portfolio companies. This role can vary significantly from firm to firm but often involves leveraging the Venture Partner's network, industry knowledge, or operational experience to add value to the venture firm's operations and investment portfolio.
