Abstract

This paper delves into the intricate relationship between entrepreneurial finance and venture capital, examining the pivotal roles they play in fostering innovation and the growth of startups. Entrepreneurial finance encompasses a range of financial strategies and tools tailored to support the financial needs of entrepreneurs, from seed capital to growth funding. In particular, venture capital, as a form of private equity investment, has become a cornerstone of entrepreneurial finance, providing substantial funding and strategic guidance to ventures with high growth potential but often lacking the capital required to scale. The paper explores the dynamics of venture capital investment, including factors that influence investment decisions, the due diligence process, and the impact of venture capital on the success of startups. It further discusses the challenges faced by entrepreneurs in securing venture capital, the role of angel investors, and the evolving landscape of entrepreneurial finance in the digital age. The analysis highlights the importance of a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem for the successful deployment of venture capital and its role in shaping the future of entrepreneurship.
