usually but it can depend on your definition of start-up-some companys have multiple rounds of financing and can be a long way from the founder's garage. Also, there are "growth equity" funds which can blur the lines between private equity and venture capital.

This is pretty accurate. You have some VC funds that exclusively invest in "ideas" other VCs only invest in businesses that have been founded/started and have a viable business model but would benefit tremendously from an infusion of growth equity. Typically those companies are at break even or very close to profitability.

The line definitely gets blurred.
