1. Funding and Venture Capital

Funding and venture capital are crucial for scalable startups—businesses designed to grow rapidly. Funding refers to the money needed to start and expand a business. Venture capital is a specific type of funding from investors who provide capital in exchange for equity or ownership in the company. These investors seek high returns, expecting the startup to grow quickly and become profitable. This support helps entrepreneurs develop their ideas, hire talent, and scale operations, ultimately aiming to offer innovative products or services to a larger market.
