The concept is different. VC buy shares/equity of a company. The company may be owned by a group of individuals (they may or may not have invested money, but they are typically founders of the company)... When a VC invest in Equity of a company, they get some percentage of ownership in the company...

So lets say I want to start a company and require $50K. Would the VCs invest $50K and get some ownership in the company?
