由来
  • 英语“venture capital”的意译。
  • 创业基金的目的是为了培育具有潜能,但又缺乏资金的企业家(多数为中小型企业),协助他们发展区域化的业务,以及为他们现有的业务增值。

  • 1998 年,新加坡已有 80 间企业获得创业基金。另外,创业基金也给公司提供贷款,可达该公司资金的四倍。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin term “创业基金” is a paraphrase of the English term “venture fund”.
  • The purpose of a venture fund is to nurture entrepreneurs with potential but who lack funding (mostly small and medium-sized enterprises), assisting their development of regional businesses and adding value to their existing operations.
  • In the early 1990s, the Singapore government allocated S$150 million to set up the first venture fund in line with the economic regionalisation policy to nurture Singapore entrepreneurs with potential and a risk-taking spirit.
  • In 1992, the Singapore Venture Capital & Private Equity Association was established to promote awareness of the venture fund and its importance to economic development.
  • By 1998, 80 companies in Singapore had benefited from the venture fund. Additionally, the venture fund provided loans to companies, which can be up to four times of the company’s funds.
