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.
