Startup Investing- how do you find a good candidate?

Startup investing has become highly lucrative to grow capital. However, which newly formed business qualifies as a startup? Notably, as The Economist reports, if 5.5 million newly formed businesses claim to be startups for attracting risk or venture capital, it becomes quite confusing to figure out which ones qualify to be startups. Besides, not all startups grow capital. Hence, the challenge is to find the growth startups to grow capital.

The VC-backed push of capturing market share and inflating valuation has also made it difficult to find the right startup for making investments. Notably, the sudden collapse of startup valuation once VCs stop funding has worsened startup investing. Particularly, the complete evaporation of unicorns appears to be highly deceptive.

To grow capital, startups face the challenge of managing and winning the reinvention race, so that valuation will grow and sustain, notably after the VC backing. At the core, it is about a startup attacking strategy. To fuel this attacking strategy, startups need to focus on IP strategy.
