Abstract

Entrepreneurial finance varies as per the startup stage, such as bootstrapping, crowdfunding, angel investors, venture capital (VC), banks and initial public offer (IPO). Many times, entrepreneurial finance comes with knowledge, experience, innovation, value, etc., in addition to the fund brought in. Venture capitals are the most common such contributors. This study illustrates some significant value-added activities by venture capital firms operating in India. It explores some evidence from venture capitals such as Tiger Global, Accel Partners and DST Global who fund Flipkart, an Indian e-commerce firm.
