<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">The frequent success stories of
businesses backed by <b><span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://mergeralpha.com/about.php" target="_blank">venture capital finance</a></span></b> have become a great demand driver for this powerful funding option.
No wonder, you can take your business to successful heights with a VC by your
side. However, raising venture capital is quite a challenge given the immense
competition in the market.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Every year, thousands of startups
approach venture capitalists with an aim to make quick money. Out of these, VCs
select only 2 or 3 startups for investment and this indicates the strictness of
the selection process. Since they are making a high-risk investment, the
investors try their best to ensure best possible selection.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Apart from VC funding, there are many other sources of fund such as friends and
family, business incubators, crowdfunding and angel investment. Ideally, you
must try all these options before making an approach towards venture capital.
If you can manage to push your business up the seed stage with the help of any
other investor, raising venture capital will become much easier.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">In this age of rapid technological advancement, giving your business some
uniqueness is highly critical. The idea is simple: you are visible when you are
different so it is best to come up with an idea that instantly catches
attention. Venture capital firms always look for high-risk startups with
innovative ideas having great market potential. This gives them the assurance
of an attractive business with huge market potential. Remember, their ultimate
objective is profit and it is only possible when your idea attracts customers.</span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Fundraising is a thrilling idea but there is always a right time to jump into
it. You must gather information about your potential investors which must
include the stage of investment they prefer. If you really want to build an
alliance with them, try to take your startup to that level with the help of
some other funding option. Now you know what we tried to say in point number 1.
Also raising too much or too less may hurt your campaign. You should pen down
your milestones and ask for capital that can help you achieve them.</span></span></div>

<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Venture capital financing has become a
palliative term for the current startup ecosystem. When all doors close, only
that of venture capital remains as the last viable option for an entrepreneur.
More interestingly, seed stage startups are keener in chasing VCs despite
knowing that these investors are more inclined towards growth stage ones. This
is because there are many VC firms that make seed stage investments the moment
they find a unique business idea. However, this is quite a big challenge that
first-time entrepreneurs fail to understand.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">

ideas and there is no doubt about it. If your idea sounds unique in the sense
that it can easily grab the attention of the target market, it is worth the
investment. You need not come up with a whole new product. Even offering an
existing product with an added feature that can bring a world of difference is
a brilliant idea!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">An idea looks more appealing when it
actually starts working. Venture capitalists tend to look for a working model
of your business to gain confidence. If you have one that shows why customers
would buy your idea, you are a winner! You can do this with the help of a group
of beta customers who show trust in your product and are even ready to wait for
it to hit the market. Try this and see how VCs get exciting about your
business.</span></div>

It is a fact that investors get easily drawn towards businesses with great
leadership teams. They visualize these individuals as the strong foundation of
a flourishing business. </span></div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">It is undoubtedly the most powerful source of capital that your startup can get

what you receive from other investors. Moreover, VCs remain with you till the

<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>

<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: justify;">Raising venture capital is a great achievement. Having a VC by your side gives
credibility to your business and helps it to attract more investments.
Typically, venture capitalists prefer to rely on startups that have already
raised capital once.</span><br />

Unlike loans, <b>venture capital finance</b>

the profit and exit the venture.</div>

Control Over Your Business</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Your control over your business often remains a major concern with VCs
constantly eying the small and big decision of your business. While they do
this with an intention to help your startup make the right move, it often
results in a loss of control on the part of the owner. If you are too conscious
about your ownership over your startup, you may need to think twice before
approaching a VC.</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">Venture capital requires you to spend a lot of money in the initial phase like
hiring a financial lawyer, hiring a financial advisor to assist you in valuing

have enough liquid cash to pull out these phases successfully, or else, you may

Considering the very small numbers of entrepreneurs who get a chance to raise
venture capital, you must think of something that investors cannot overlook. In
other words, you need a billion dollar idea that can offer a unique solution to
an existing issue. It should be something that your target customers have long
been waiting for. Investors find such ideas more reliable than any other type
of offering so think something unique!</span></span></div>

over the market aiming to capture it. At this point, it becomes your
responsibility to demonstrate why customers will prefer your product/service
over your rivals’. You must come up with a strong value proposition. It is
possible when you can prove that your customers can even wait for your product
instead of buying from your rivals.</span></span></div>

an investor, make sure you are ready with a working model that can help them
understand your plan with better transparency. The better they understand, the
faster they can reach a conclusion about whether or not to sign the deal. Even
if they reject it, you can immediately start working on it for a higher level
of perfection.</span></div>

order to gain enormous profit. Simultaneous, you should aim for scalability as
it is the basic nature of a market to change or expand. If you have a scalable

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">The venture capital industry in India is
rapidly growing in size owing to the entry of large numbers of local and global
venture capital firms craving for high-potential startups. However, there is
still a lot of scope in the sector as there currently only a few 100 companies
in the country offering <b><span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://mergeralpha.com/about.php" target="_blank">venture capital finance</a></span></b> to innovative startups. However, the funding option isn’t always
suitable for all startups so it is best to study both the pros and cons of the
option and then reach a conclusion.</span></div>

<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">So, if you have already determined the
suitability of the option and now looking for an investor in India, here’s a
list of some of the most active venture capital companies in India that are
investing in fast growing markets like Technology, Energy, Finance and various
other sectors. If you have an innovative idea that can bring a change to the
society and a super-efficient team to execute the plan, there is always money
for you in the market. </span></div>

responsibilities as you are expected to delight your investors with huge
profits after a certain period. As a first-time entrepreneur with a seed-stage
startup, you may find it very difficult to convince banks or other financial
institutions. So the common options you are left with, typically, includes
friends and family, incubators, crowdfunding and <b><a href="http://mergeralpha.com/about.php" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">venture capital funding</span></a></b>.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Typically,
venture capitalists prefer to invest in established businesses or at least
those that have already started earning revenues. However, there are many firms
that are involved in seed-stage funding too so you always have options in the
industry - all you need is the right set of tools to raise the money. Some of
the prerequisites for venture capital include an innovative idea (product or
service), a sizable and scalable market, an innovative business model, an
impressive first pitch, a strong value proposition, etc.</span></span></div>

<b>Raising Investment Funds</b></h3>
</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">While your journey as a first-time
entrepreneur raising venture capital is filled with challenges, the story on
the other side also has a lot of twists and turns that ultimately result in
huge profit. My years of observation and experience says that it is equally
challenging for VC firms to raise and manage their investment funds as it is
for seed-stage entrepreneurs making the best of their efforts to convince a
potential investor.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">If you are on your way to attract venture
capital for your startup, it would be my great pleasure to make the functioning
a VC firm little more transparent to you so that you know where exactly you are
heading and how your financiers will manage to back your startup.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">The main goal of a venture capital firm
is to make profit for its investors (the main source of fund) and its own team
for which it sets out in search of potential markets that have the ability to
get them back the desired returns.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Typically, the investors who pour money
in venture<b> <a href="http://mergeralpha.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">investment funds</span></a></b> include
limited partner investors that comprises of endowment funds, pension funds,
charitable organizations, investment firms and others wealthy individuals or
groups. Once VCs collect the fund, it becomes their first responsibility to get
their investors a good ROI which, naturally, makes them go choosy with
startups.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">The fund primarily operates through other
people’s money while the firm’s major partners’ contribution is only 1 percent
of the total fund.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Once there is enough fund, VCs target
growing industries like Technology, Telecommunication, Energy, Finance, Real
Estate and other sectors for investment opportunities. They make their choices
in two different segments, one is the industry and the other is the stage of
investment. Typically, they are more interested in the growth stage due to
lower risk, however, there are many who are willing to invest in the seed
stage. Some VCs invest in the all the stages including seed, early, growth and
later stage.</span></div>
<iframe allowfullscreen="1" frameborder="1" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QuPSjyx08J8" width="560"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">However, it is not just about having the
fund and investing it somewhere but also about ensuring that the fund is
utilized in the most productive manner to ensure high revenues. The more
revenues you earn, the higher is their share of profit so they not only examine
your startup's potential but also fill themselves with up with adequate
knowledge about your industry. This helps them study the market analytics of
the sector and offer you necessary guidance and mentorship whenever and
wherever needed. </span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">While choosing a portfolio company, VCs
usually look for certain prerequisites like a unique idea, a sizable market, a
smart and efficient team with great knowledge of management and finance, a
group of beta customers and an innovative business model. Absence of any one of
these factors makes the investors either turn back or thin several times before
investing.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Once they get in partnership with your
startup, they (in most cases) choose to become a member of your board and take participation in critical
decision makings. If needed, they feel free to voice their opinion as they are
not just investors but also masters of business management. With an unwavering
aim to help your startup become successful, they offer sincere guidance and
mentorship and also use their connections with other influential people in the
industry to offer you more ideas on building better strategies.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Typically, venture capital companies
expect a return of 25 to 35 percent on each year's’ investment. The tenure
usually ranges from 3 to 8 years followed by exit with their share of profit.
Right from the moment they get into partnership till exit, they strive their
best to make things favorable for you so that you can gain enough market
traction and earn enough revenues. They then distribute the profit share among
their investors and also keep a percentage with them. To minimize risk, they
usually make simultaneous investments in a number of companies so that if one
investment fails, they can cover up the loss from the other startups.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">So that’s how their investment funds<b> </b>snowball and return back bigger through
your startup. If you are interested to know more about venture capital, feel

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">That awesome moment when no one is
showing confidence in your startup and then suddenly you find a venture
capitalist ready to invest in your seed stage startup and enable you to turn
your dream into reality! Wow! It’s a dream come true! But wait, attracting a VC

VCs usually select only 2 or 3 so you can easily figure out the toughness of the
financing option. That said, if you have all the necessary things in the right
place, you will always find it easier to grab the attention of a venture

catch their attention; if they find it interesting, innovative and competitive,
they will definitely value it highly. Venture capital firms, typically, prefer
to invest in high potential ideas which can be a product or service with huge
demand in the market. You don’t have to create something completely new; even
an innovative twist to an existing product or service can also bring in
potential customers. This is the first thing that a VC would look for in your
venture.</span></div>

a win-win situation almost. You can create a superb working model of your

feel more interested if there are other investors standing on the line for your
idea. This gives them the assurance that your idea is in demand and there are
good chances of huge revenues. If you have more than one active investor for

convince a VC to think about your startup. Moreover, if you can bear 25 to 50
percent of the investment through your personal savings, it is undoubtedly be a

percent is also good enough to prove your confidence in your startup. Money is

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">The rapidly expanding venture capital
industry is providing the startup world with the much-needed impetus. While the
VC industry has already become a potential driver for the US economy, the Southeast
Asian countries have also started witnessing the gradual influence of venture
capital on potential startups. The city-state of Singapore is already on its
way to become the Silicon Valley of Southeast Asia owing to its fast developing
VC industry. As an entrepreneur, if you are willing to raise venture capital
for your startup, it would be a good idea to gather some information on how
exactly the venture capitalists manage their <b>investment funds </b>and make profit.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"><b>Where Do The VC Investment Funds Come From?</b></span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">I am sure you will be one of the happiest
persons on earth after successfully raising your startup with venture capital.
But then, how would you feel if you realize someday that you don’t really know
where the VC <span style="background-color: white;"><b><a href="http://mergeralpha.com/" target="_blank">investment funds</a></b>
</span>actually come from? There must be someone to provide fund to the venture
capitalists, right? So who they are?</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Well, a major portion of the Dollars come
from LPs, i.e. limited partner investors that mainly include large institutions
like pension funds, charitable foundations, endowments, insurance firms and
other wealthy individuals or families, corporations and a small percentage from
HNIs as well. Typically, the contribution from the major partners of a venture
capital firm is only 1 percent of the total investment fund.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"><b>How Do They Utilize The Fund?</b></span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">The VCs usually pour their investors’
money in high-growth industries like Telecommunications, Software, Multimedia,
E commerce and others. This is quite contrary to the myth that the VCs look
only for good ideas. They, in fact, pick up one or a few growing industries and
then look for innovative ideas in that sector.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Next to industry is the stage of
development of the firm that they take into consideration. Venture capital
firms prefer to avoid seed stage investments as the business at that stage is
quite uncertain and the risk factor is very high. They try to meet their
investors’ expectations by taking moderate risks and ensuring a huge ROI.
Though there are VC firms that make seed-stage investments, the major interest
is most at the growth stage (once commercialization begins).</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">To minimize the risk, the VCs usually
invest in groups, i.e. two or more venture capitalists invest in a single
startup to share the risk and gain returns from a moderate investments. This
strategy not only decreases their workload but also gives them the opportunity
to explore other investment opportunities in the market. </span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">They expect a return of 25 percent to 35
percent on each year’s investment in the startup and the tenure usually ranges
from 3 to 5 years. During this tenure, they provide the investee company with
many additional services apart from capital, such as, offering guidance and
knowledge sharing, contacts sharing, offering help in building business
strategies and deciding exit-policies. </span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">The VCs usually choose their portfolio
companies based on certain prerequisites like a unique business idea, an
innovative business model, a sizable and scalable market, a great management team with excellent
knowledge of management and finance, a strong pitch that drive their interest,
business valuation papers and other important documents related to the origin
of the business and most importantly a strong value proposition. </span></div>

<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Typically, a VC firm prefers to become a
part of the management team of the investee company and also takes part in
critical board meetings. They desperately come forward to express their opinion
on financial matters just to ensure that the fund they have invested is
directed in the right direction so that each and every penny contributes to the
overall ROI. Apart from this, they also prefer to invest in more than one
startups to ensure that even if one deal fails, the other one manages to cover
up the loss.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">So that was just a small introduction to
how exactly a venture capital firm operates. Hope the above information helps
you in your overall research on the VC industry. If you have already
kickstarted your venture capital raising campaign, you must see to it that you
chase only the right investor, i.e. the one who is interested in the industry
you are dealing with as I mentioned above. Also, remember to have all the
prerequisites in the right place so that you don’t have to stumble at any point
of time while in front of a potential investor.</span></div>
