In today’s fast-paced world, ideas are aplenty, and a lot of people want to venture towards entrepreneurship. This calls out for doing extensive market research and diving towards independence by becoming your own boss. Above all, it takes a lot of courage to venture out. Moreover, it requires careful planning, in the form of startup launch.

What starts off as a small business can scale up to be of a huge magnitude in the future. After-all, big companies such as Apple, Microsoft and Google were startups too at one point in time. Similarly, new technology namesakes like Twitter, Uber and Facebook lead the startup ecosystem.

Let’s get the discussion rolling by defining what is meant by this term.

Startup is basically a company that is in the preliminary stages of its time in terms of business operations. It’s literally starting out where it’s co-founded by one or more people, who develop a product or service for market.

This means that a startup company usually requires a lot of money, that they either bootstrap themselves. Or, they are generally on a look out for crowdfunding or venture capitalists.

These venture backers fund the startup owners the initial investment for starting out their operations. In return, these angel investors may get stake in the company.
