PE/VC ownership of a target company

How much does a PE/Venture capital firm own in a portfolio company and what usually determines this? How much equity does the PE/VC receive for investing in my company? And does this differ between PE and VC?

 

These are all so dependent on the situation that they're unanswerable. It's sort of like asking, "how much is a business worth?"

Let's take a step back: what question are you trying to answer?
