You have to have money to make money, right? Not exactly. In fact, millions of people who’ve started their own businesses, many of them extremely successful have started their own businesses without a penny to their names. In some cases, all it takes is a good idea that an investor believes in to get a startup off the ground. In other cases, having a product or even just a prototype will get an investor interested enough to put their capital on the line. And when that VC funding comes in, it’s the start of a whole new business and a whole new life for many involved. If you’re lucky enough to be born into money, well, you’re already more than halfway to success. But if you’re like many others, you don’t have the cash for that startup, let alone the ability to risk it. After all, you can’t risk what you don’t have. And that’s where VC funding comes in. Venture capital is a means of obtaining substantial amounts of cash that you can use for that startup. After a solid business idea and/or product and the know-how and courage, venture capital is an important and viable means of funding your dreams.
