Vulture Capitalist

First, see: Venture Capitalist. Then add black wings and an ugly beak. A vulture capitalist is basically a venture capitalist who takes dead carcasses of companies, finds hidden value in them, then...does stuff. And turns them around. Think: The Phoenix rising from ashes or something like that. That's what the Vulture Capitalists hope for, anyway. See: Angel Investor.
