Spanish term or phrase: capital riesgo (not "venture capital")

This is a text about alternative forms of financing. Is there a collective term for venture capital and private equity, such as "capital riesgo"? Thanks in advance!!

El CAPITAL RIESGO en realidad debe dividirse en dos tipos, aquellos fondos de “venture capital” que invierten en compañías muy jóvenes, en general de sesgo tecnológico, y los fondos de “private equity” que compran compañías más maduras, de menor crecimiento, empleando volúmenes muy elevados de deuda.

It is "venture capital"

Explanation:
The text is stating that "Venture capital should really be divided into..." it's a criticism of the term itself as being too general.
