Expert Solution
Step 1

The percentage ownership of the venture capitalist is the proportion of its investment in the total value of the company’s capital. The investment made by the venture capitalist is $10,000,000 and the post-money value of the company is $30,000,000 ($20,000,000+$10,000,000). Therefore, the % ownership of the venture capitalist is 33.33%.
