Yes. In most cases of venture capital funds where a firm is involved, there is usually a fixed life of ten years, which helps maintain the main goal of a Venture Capital investment which is to invest in a company during the period of the business’s ascendance and greatest profit earnings/income and thus minimizing any and all risks regarding potential drops in marke value or unforeseen risks that cripple the said business.
Even though this is the case for the majority of Venture Capitalist firms, big or small, this is not necessarily true of every Venture Capital Investment as many of these investments are made by individuals or a group of individuals not associated with a firm or company.
Often these investments do not have a fixed time limit unless the investors specifically demand a contractual agreement by which the said investor will no longer be a supplier or investor in the business.
These are most often associated with friends, family or individuals with a great deal of interest in the business or individuals operating and managing the company.
