Venture Capital investment has taken on an important role at an international level, since large multinationals with meteoric growth obtained this type of leverage when they were created or in the first years of their existence. Thus, capital from Venture Capital entities has assumed an important role in the growth of small companies, with a special focus on start-ups. The Portuguese company business, made up mostly of small companies, needs foreign investment to be able to grow in its field of activity. In this way, the influence of Venture Capital on Portuguese companies will be analysed, verifying the levels of growth, profitability, productivity and employability in companies that obtained this investment. The study to be carried out will have a quantitative approach, using financial data from the investees, using the Logit estimation model to verify the significance of the results between companies that were the target of investment in return with companies that did not have this type of leverage. Summarising, it was concluded that the influence of Venture Capital investment on invested companies only has statistical significance in the variable related to labour productivity, in the remaining variables, invested companies do not differ from entities that did not obtain this type of investment.
