Planned New Feature: Venture Capitalists
Feature Description
Venture Capitalists with billions of net worth will join the game when this feature is enabled.
Venture Capitalists only invest in companies in pre-IPO rounds. They are committed to long-term investments and do not actively trade stocks.
When using this feature in conjunction with the Realistic Money Supply option, Venture Capital would be an indispensable source of funding when the public investors are lacking cash to invest.
For gameplay balance, when Realistic Money Supply is enabled, the game will automatically assign a minimum of 5 Venture Capitalists to the game. However, if Survival Mode is enabled, then Venture Capitalists can be set to any number.
Why it matters
If it works as expected, it will enable players to use the Realistic Money Supply option without requiring the Survival mode.
(reference: posts from users requesting this: viewtopic.php?f=52&t=7804)
It will also block or reduce the effects of those exploits that recklessly raise funds from the public via issuances of new shares and new bonds.
Its impact on the Banking and Finance DLC
Please note that this feature would replace the Import Company feature as one of the potential extra new features for the Banking and Finance DLC, as it turned out that the fun elements of the Import Company feature did not quite come together.
Status
The development of this feature has just begun. I will post updates as it makes progress.
It is tentatively scheduled for beta release in the next major version 6.6.00 in mid August.
