This document discusses various sources of funding for growing businesses, including friends and family, angel investors, and venture capital. It provides details on each type of funding:
- Angel investors provide early funding for ideas and may invest small amounts to help develop the business. Some angels professionally advise businesses.
- Venture capital funds invest larger amounts in exchange for equity and control over company decisions. They focus on innovative high-growth companies that need funding to expand.
- Different stages of business growth require different amounts of funding, from less than RM50k in the earliest stages to millions later on when seeking to commercialize and expand. Securing venture capital funding takes time and proving the business concept works.
What Funds
The document provides information on various funding sources for new ventures:
- Self-financed and angel investors provide initial startup funds. Research institutions focus on basic research.
- Venture capitalists invest just after startup to fund growth. Private equity invests in longer-term growth of established companies.
- Public equity and banks provide capital for operating needs and exits for venture capitalists and private equity investors. Each source has different drivers, expected returns, and origins of funds.

Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
