As i understand: When u have a venture (normally a new project of its type) and someone invests in your venture, it is called venture capital. This happens at the very beginning stage of the venture or business. When u need to expand the capacity, or start a business which is normally not new of its kind, investors invest in the form of private equity. Private equity is meant for already structured businesses whereas venture capital is meant for new businesses.
