The thesis behind VC is power law, where they invest in 10 companies with hopes that at least one of them will be multi-bagger helping them offset losses from investment in other companies in the portfolio. VC when investing in startup mostly looks at the problem space, product and the founders rather than growth or revenue (atleast it was the case in 2021)
PE stands for Private Equity. This is investment done at late stage of company. The PE funds companies that have proven themselves and are at late stage of growth. Companies like KKR, Warburg Pincus are some famous PE companies. Warburg Pincus had invested in Airtel back in 2017.
One of the key difference between VC and PE is the stage at which they invest in the company.
