Startup Financing and Angel Investments

Subject: Economics

Book: Comprehensive Indian Economy - Additional Topics

Early-stage startups rely on angel investors, venture capital, and crowdfunding to scale innovations. Government measures (tax exemptions, easier compliance) encourage seed funding, though valuations can be volatile. Students must link how a robust startup ecosystem fosters job creation, fosters local manufacturing of new products, and builds intangible assets (IP rights). Yet, the “valley of death” stage often kills promising ventures lacking stable revenue or mentorship. Balanced regulatory support remains crucial for sustainable entrepreneurial growth.
