Volunteer city investment (7,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

venture capital

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'volunteer city investment' is the definition.
'venture capital' can be an answer for 'investment' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'volunteer city' bit.

'city investment' is the wordplay.
'city' becomes 'venture' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'investment' becomes 'capital' (I've seen this before).
'venture'+'capital'='VENTURE CAPITAL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for venture capital that I've seen before include "money invested" , "Risky investment" , "Money riskily put in" , "source of high-risk investment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
