What is the real difference between Venture Capital (VC) and Private Equity (PE)?

• Venture Capital: Invests in companies at early stages or in rapid growth (startups) with a technology base or highly innovative models. The risk is very high and minority stakes are acquired.
• Private Equity: Invests in mature, consolidated companies with stable cash flows. They typically acquire majority stakes or full control in order to restructure the company, improve its efficiency and sell it years later.
