explaining models of islamic venture capital

islamic venture capital is one of the new methods of islamic finance which despite gaining approval of many professionals about its special advantages and efficiency, it has not been adequately considered by islamic finance experts. hence, most studies conducted so far have only introduced mudharabah and musharakah for financing in the process of islamic venture capital while it is possible to use some other structures in this process. in fact, this study describes the structures and patterns that comply with sharia used in islamic venture capital industry and also describes the performance of them in the islamic venture capital companies. the results, obtained with descriptive analysis method, and from library resources, documentary analysis, and research and development, indicate that in addition to mudharabah and musharakah contracts, some contracts such as musharakah mutanaqisah, ijarah mawsufah fi al dhimmah, ijarah wa iqtina and wakalah-ijarah mawsufah fi al dhimmah can also be used in the process of islamic venture capital.
