Venture Capital and Angel Investors

Manuel Stagars

Chapter Chapter 12 in University Startups and Spin-Offs, 2015, pp 125-130 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Students and researchers often misunderstand the function of investors, even if they have a business or finance background; they see them as a source of capital only. Entrepreneurs should consider investors in broader terms than that. Expertise, network, and influence are much more important than paying the next round of salaries. This chapter explains the most common sources of early-stage capital: venture capital firms and angel investors. It describes which other benefits these investors may have for startups and at what stage of development entrepreneurs should approach them (hint: much later than most people think).
