Raising Venture Capital funding: What it really takes for True Venture Entrepreneurs to access equity funding

Venture Capital (VC) provides lifeblood capital that helps potentially great businesses
scale. When deployed at a meaningful quantum, it is typically administered through a fund. These funds have a mandate to invest in the traditionally perceived illiquid, risky, space of equity positions in unquoted (often loss-making) businesses.

This fuels innovation, jobs and technology to society. When successful, fund
managers, investors, founders and their teams can make very healthy returns that
can transform lives. Equity funding into these types of businesses is a critical part of
moving an economy forward.

certain entrepreneurs.
