The term 'Venture Capital' means capital provided to fund a venture.  Essentially venture capital and private equity are the much the same thing.  However, venture capital firms look more at emerging businesses and industries and private equity firms like more traditional industries and mature companies with established cash flows.

There are many different sources of venture capital funding and whether you succeed in obtaining venture capital will depend on the type of business your have, what stage it is at, and what industry its in, how profitable it is, how much experience you have and how well the overall market is performing.
