Startups and innovations

A startup is a company with a short history of operation. Typically, these companies are created recently, they are under development or in search for prospecting markets. That is, it is a young, small company, whose activities are connected with any innovative technology (Internet, nanotechnology, medicine, etc.).

There is a classification of stages of development of start-ups, according to which the startup is in its development throughout 5 stages: seed stage, startup stage, growth stage, expansion stage and "exit" stage.

Innovation is the result of investing intelligent solutions into R&D and obtaining new knowledge or innovative idea to improve some areas of people's lives (technologies, products, organizational forms of society life, such as education, management, labor organization, service, science, information, and so on), and the subsequent implementation process (production),with a fixed value (profit, advancement, leadership, priority, fundamental improvement, quality excellence, creativity, progress).

Financing of start-ups

money for idea

Recently, start-ups has become a very popular option to start their own business. Today, this niche is occupied mainly by young people aged 25-30 years, the so-called representatives of a new wave of business. They have their own vision of the organization of the enterprise, a number of interesting ideas and promising ideas. The most important thing in this case - to receive the interest of investors willing to finance start-ups.

The most valuable resource when you create a new Internet project is a good idea. It is new and unusual ideas that are being chased by all and often are bought for big money. The idea that exists in words, or paper that does not have any material embodiment, could cost a lot of money. However, the second factor in the success of this idea - how useful it is for the consumer. The idea may be innovative, unusual, but one will not fully gain on it. Providing funding for start-ups that benefit the society will be much easier.

Creation and
financing of start-ups

Often, a startup is a risky project that can quickly recoup funds invested in it, and perhaps fail. Most start-ups do not justify the hopes pinned on them and die. There are less successful ones. A team of ambitious people will comes up with an innovative idea, collect resources, find the means and begin to embody the idea. The money for the development of start-up are often given by sponsors, in return for ownership of the decent part of the company in the future. Sometimes a startup is developing a new profile in an existing, successful company.

Financing of start-ups is divided into two main categories:

Deferred until stable
The first type of investment is classic contributions with a forecasted return. The investor negotiates with developers that the start-up funding will be held at a certain stage of the project, if it will live up to it. The owners of startups will reach the desired for the investor level and receive funding. If you look from the side, it looks like a purchase of the start-up company stock with a specific product and specific forecasts
The “hub and spoke” model
In the second type of investment the funding is issued in the early stages of the project (sometimes - immediately after formation of the idea of a startup). The company's investor takes on the projects that are able to recoup the investment in dozens of times - that is, if among those dozens startups will be only one successful one, the company will still make a good profit.

Startup development

At the seed stage an idea is formed and the startup's forecasts are calculated;
At the stage of launching a startup "is coming out" and begins to spend resources - up to the next stage, it will be unprofitable;
Before reaching the stage of growth, not all startups - but those which "survive", get a substantial profit
Stage of expansion (the second peak of popularity) - active project expansion
The exit stage - that is a breakthrough into the "big market". In general - the placement of shares on the stock exchanges.
