| Your startup is growing. You finally have cash flow. Time to enjoy? Not if you raised venture capital. "There are certain strings attached to VC money," Kanwal Singh, Helion, explained.
Venture capital is the term for money invested in young, fast growing companies. Many of today's leading companies were backed by venture capital: Biocon, Google, Oracle, Apple.
Clearly, there are benefits to venture funding, but it's not a good fit for everyone. It's critical for an entrepreneur to understand the venture dynamics, as Balaji Srinivas at Aureos Capital warned, "It is very important for the entrepreneur to know why the VCs are doing what they are doing."
