Early stage investments are driving innovation and economic growth. Particularly the phase after the prototype development and testing of initial customer interest, the scale up phase, is for young entrepreneurs one of the most challenging phases for their new venture. First, since the number of startups is rapidly increasing, it becomes challenging to stand out in the mass requests for scale up funding. Second, finding financial resources is not sufficient the venture should search for smart funding. In other words, Business Angels who provide strategic value in addition to their financial support, increases the chances of success for your venture. For the investor, the scale up phase, mean investing in growth and innovation which signify risk taking behavior. Structured and solid analysis will increase investors’ understanding of the venture’s growth potential and main risks.
