Private Equity Glossaries

The Center for Private Equity and Entrepreneurship of Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business provides a comprehensive Private Equity Glossary featuring everything from "'A'-Round" to "Zombie."

In case you were wondering: "A" Round is "a financing event whereby venture capitalists become involved in a fast-growth company that was previously financed by founders and/or angels." And a Zombie is "a company that has received capital from investors but has only generated sufficient revenues and cash flow to maintain its operations without significant growth."

Please see this post from Dane Carlson for another glossary of VentureSpeak from 3i.
