Entrepreneurship is the process of designing, launching and running a new business, which is often initially a small business. The people who create these businesses are called entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneurship has been described as the "capacity and willingness to develop, organize and manage a business venture along with any of its risks to make a profit." While definitions of entrepreneurship typically focus on the launching and running of businesses, due to the high risks involved in launching a start-up, a significant proportion of start-up businesses have to close due to "lack of funding, bad business decisions, an economic crisis, lack of market demand, or a combination of all of these."
A broader definition of the term is sometimes used, especially in the field of economics. In this usage, an Entrepreneur is an entity which has the ability to find and act upon opportunities to translate inventions or technologies into products and services:"The entrepreneur is able to recognize the commercial potential of the invention and organize the capital, talent, and other resources that turn an invention into a commercially viable innovation." In this sense, the term "Entrepreneurship" also captures innovative activities on the part of established firms, in addition to similar activities on the part of new businesses.

Social really is here when it comes to the enterprise. Many see the role of social in consumer-focused businesses but have not absorbed what it means for the enterprise. Social is having a direct impact in 5 areas:
1. DIY prospecting: Customers conduct research on products and services well ahead of the official start to the sales cycle
2. Peer influence: Customers “pulse” their peers at every step of the journey
3. Trial before purchase: User testing requires grassroot support. It’s no longer a single decision instance rather smaller purchase bundles
4. Buyer & user are the same: The phenomenon changes decision and influence points in enterprise purchasing
5. Click to compare: Pricing transparency is foundational; consumer expectations are shaping enterprise behavior

Whether you've been in business one week or five years, an infusion of funds is always welcome. But what type of financing is best for your business? There are so many factors to consider--from the stage of your business to how much it'll cost to get the money--that just choosing a path to follow can be overwhelming.
It takes more than just a great idea to run a successful business. Entrepreneurs and existing business owners need capital to pursue their vision.
Raising funds is the most tedious and complex question faced by every startups. There are few options by which startups can raise funds are been listed in this presentation
The principal goal of this lesson, is to provide participants with knowledge and techniques on how to find and target the right investors, avoid costly mistakes, and craft convincing proposals that will make investors want to give you money. There are certain things you need know about investors as an entrepreneur before approaching them for funding. Don’t you think so? This lesson will make you see from a broader perspective how to position the concept of raising funds within the confines of your business. Whether you want to raise $5,000 or $10 million to kick-start your business idea, grow an existing business, or turn around a failing one, this lesson is the foundation that will significantly increase your ability to find, approach, engage and convince potential investors to give you funding. Most investors complain that it’s hard to find good businesses to invest in. Entrepreneurs, on the other hand, complain that it's hard to find investors who are willing to invest in their business. The big reason for this mismatch and confusion is most entrepreneurs who are looking to raise funds are flying blind. Their businesses just don’t meet the requirements that potential investors are looking for. The truth is funding is Available and Abundant for those who know how to access it! Many entrepreneurs often give the common excuse that funding is scarce. This is not only false, it's actually very misleading. If capital is really scarce, how come the volume of investments and loans to entrepreneurs and businesses continue to grow every year?

1. Funding your Startup? Take a step at a time!
No one's waiting to pool money in your startup just because you have an exciting out-of-
the-box business idea! Harsh as it sounds, it’s the reality! Startup funding doesn't come
easy…it’s a tough nut to crack. Practiced investors will always expect to own a portion of
the business and wait for huge (mind it…not just good…huge) returns on the funds they
provide. This sure can add to stress of an already hassled entrepreneur. Then again, if
funding was so easy, wouldn't everyone jump onto the 'starting a startup' bandwagon?
While there is not hidden formula, here's a list of the most common ways to raise funds
with some first-hand rules of thumb from young, dynamic entrepreneurs.
1. Chalk Out A Plan Of Action
"Timing is key" Srinivas Potukuchi, CEO and Founder of Glowship stated. He added that you
have to have a correct time frame…prioritize your conversations…be it with family and
friends during the seed funding process or angel investors. Glowship is a one-of-a-kind
online marketplace for energy and environment related products. "The first funding that
any startup usually receives is from friends and family. It is best to get investors who
understand the sector you are operating in and can therefore appreciate your problems
and add significant value to the company" he added.
To this Arpita Kapoor, founder of Mech Mocha Games and a recent winner of the prominent
female Indie award at Casual Connect Europe added that, "At a little later stage in the
company, when you are looking for angel investors, the sure shot way to get a hold of them
is to get back to your old angel investors and they will in turn help you raise your next
round of funding via their networks". Mech Mocha Games creates high quality character-
centric games for casual gamers.
2. Do Your Homework
When it comes to angel investment, it is important to go with investors who have been
around in the investing business for a while and have a proven track record of investing in
start-ups. Meet with relevant investors who understand the efforts you are putting in.
Lokesh Makam, Founder and MD of Barrix Agro Sciences, includes that an investor should
understand the dynamics of the sector you are in…half your work is done when you have
the investor who understands your business and sector. Srinivas' additional comment on
this was," Know the people you are fundraising from…save time, energy, cost!"
3. Start The Hunt
Seed funding is your own savings/money from family and friends that you pool
in…also known as bootstrapping. Srinivas inserts, " Friends and family who
2. understood the sector were able to appreciate it better. Having a proof-of-concept is
a good idea. I embarked on fundraising when I had a group of concepts in place."
Angel investor funding gives you that additional leverage, over your seed capital to
allow your business to stand on its own feet. Arpita says that meeting only relevant
investors is key. Do not waste your time.
Venture capital is for companies that are already into their business and are
looking to expand. Lokesh mentions, "Startups should concentrate only on their
business and plans. It is the idea of the entrepreneur that matters and he/she should
focus only on that. Do not follow money alone…work hard and money will follow.
Take one vision and activity at a time."
4. Get A Network System In Place
Often the best way to receive funding is the good ol' way of networking. Attend workshops,
boot camps and events that help you not only understand how funding really occurs, but
also the various parameters, types etc. 10 investors will have 10 different perspectives on
you and your business. Do not be disappointed by the feedback you get. Attend events to
meet relevant people…advisors, investors, mentors, fellow entrepreneurs. If you cannot be
part of a seed accelerator program, try networking through events, social media, seminars
and much more happening across cities each day.
5. Be Prepared
Before you delve into asking for funding, you will have to argue your case to the investors.
Like Arpita says, " Ready your pitch. You don’t know your business strategy…no one knows.
Know your goals and know the people you are talking to." With the feedback you get, don't
lose hope. Meet as much relevant people as you can.
…and finally…
Getting funds together for your business is no rocket science. With a right plan of action in
place and making sure you hone your pitch until your investors are vowed, getting financed
isn't that complicated. Make money…its time you leave your fingerprints on the
world…what say?
