The entrepreneurs promote or establish the enterprise, after assessing the business opportunities.

Venture capital is required for gaining knowledge about these opportunities, making forecasts,


determining the objectives, deciding the location, preparing plant layout, registration of the
enterprise and completion of other formalities. The capital sows the seeds of the enterprise.

Seed funds- funds are frequently started by active investors as a way to invest more capital into more
companies than the investor would be able to do with their own capital.
2. Formulation of Firm

The capital venture is also required for the formation of the firm after the practical shape is given to the
idea of the entrepreneur. The form of the organization, single, partnership, company, association, or any
other form will be decided whether less or more capital is needed?
The volume of capital will also depend upon the scale of production.

Venture capital is used for registration of the firm, contracts, incorporation certificate, business transaction
certificate, etc.
If the scale of production is small, less capital is required and if the scale is large, more capital is
required.

1. early stage financing
2. expansion financing
3. acquisition/buyout financing
3. Production of the Product
For the production of any product, the firm has to face not only Complex problems but has to
arrange adequate capital. Without that, it will not be possible to give returns to the sources
deployed for production. In that case, the production of the product will be getting blocked.

4. Management, Organization, and Control


Venture capital- is required to appoint the employees, officers, and subordinates to
continuously have a watch on the quality of the product and to see that the organization is
working properly according to the objectives and also see that performance is in consonance
with the determined targets.

5. Marketing Stage.-It is to remember that if the gap between the production and the
marketing stage is short, the requirement of venture capital will be low on the contrary, if the
gap between production and marketing stage is more, the requirement of venture capital will
be high. Its reason is that the parties to whom payments are to be made will not care,
whether the firm has the capital or not. They will not wait for the receipt of capital.

Types of venture Capital
• Seed Capital.  If you’re just starting out and have no product or organized
company yet, you would be seeking seed capital.  Few VCs fund at this stage and the
amount invested would probably be small.  Investment capital may be used to create
a sample product, fund market research, or cover administrative set-up costs.
• Startup Capital. At this stage, your company would have a sample product
available with at least one principal working full-time.  Funding at this stage is also
rare.  It tends to cover recruitment of other key management, additional market
research, and finalizing of the product or service for introduction to the
marketplace.
• Early Stage Capital.  Two to three years into your venture, you’ve gotten your
company off the ground, a management team is in place, and sales are increasing.  
At this stage, VC funding could help you increase sales to the break-even point,
improve your productivity, or increase your company’s efficiency.
• Expansion Capital.  Your company is well established, and now you are
looking to a VC to help take your business to the next level of growth.  Funding
at this stage may help you enter new markets or increase your marketing
efforts.  You should seek out VCs that specialize in later stage investing.
• Late Stage Capital.  At this stage, your company has achieved impressive
sales and revenue and you have a second level of management in place.  You
may be looking for funds to increase capacity, ramp up marketing, or increase
working capital.
• Bridge Financing: You may also be looking for a partner to help you find a
merger or acquisition opportunity, or attract public financing through a stock
offering.  There are VCs that focus on this end of the business spectrum,
specializing in initial public offerings (IPOs), buyouts, or recapitalizations.  If
you are planning an IPO, a VC may also assist with mezzanine or bridge
financing – short-term financing that allows you to pay for the costs associated
with going public.

Tips for Raising Venture Capital for Your Tech Startup

1. Establish Clear Goals + Objectives


The most successful tech founders are visionaries, and know when they’re
building something extraordinary. While the value of the startup may seem obvious to
them, extraordinary ideas and products must be backed by clear goals and objectives.
When defining financing goals and objectives, it's important to ask yourself the following
questions.

What do you want to accomplish with this funding?


How will this funding allow you to accelerate growth and drive innovation?
How much financing does your tech startup need to be successful?
 
Setting realistic, revenue-focused goals and objectives, teams can stay organized,
energized, and focused on the big picture. Meanwhile, clear goals and objectives allow
investors to really understand what your intentions are:
 
2. Get to Know Potential Investors
The tech industry's top venture capitalists hear dozens of pitches a week, so it's especially important to
find any opportunity to stand out from the competition.

3. Connect with Peers


To gain even more perspective and insight into VC investment, consider connecting with peers who
have "been there, done that." Use this as an opportunity to learn from other entrepreneurs. What did
they do to successfully land their first investment? How did they configure their pitch deck to guarantee
maximum engagement? What key takeaways do they have for you when preparing your pitch?
Building these kinds of relationships can be a challenge. The world's top tech startup founders leverage
the power of tech-oriented coworking spaces to unlock powerful networking opportunities. More than a
desk, Rocket Space supports tech startups and entrepreneurs with a solid network of industry leaders
and startup resources to help them raise top investment.
4. Understand Your Finances
"It goes without saying that cash is the lifeblood of your business,".
Founders who understand their expenses know where to invest their time and money. By digging into potential
financial constraints and challenges, founders are able to make more 
accurate projections and extend investment runway. Having this knowledge also helps prepare founders to
answer potential questions or concerns an investor might have.

5. Prepare Your Pitch


It’s important to have a solid business plan, however, investors don't have the time to read lengthy documents. It's
important to send more digestible documents that explain the broad goals and objectives of your tech startup.
These documents include:

1) A Five Slide Pitch Deck: A pitch deck is your business plan translated into concise, yet informative slides. By
communicating more with less in a limited time, investors can determine quickly if they want to invest.
2) Up-to-date Financial Documents: By preparing the right financial documents, investors can get an accurate
vision of the health and potential of a startup. These documents include:

 
 Revenue Projections: An estimate of how much revenue will be generated in the next few
years will support your proposed goals.

 Operational Expenses: Outline your current staffing, marketing, and operational


expenditures, then determine how they could change. An explanation and analysis of
these types of operational expenses not only inform the investor, but help them assess
current marketing strategies or staffing decisions made by the startup.
 
 Cash Flow: Explaining cash flow is similar to showing a view 
of a business checking account. This helps investors assess any risk associated with
your expenses, and understand how profitable a startup is.
