      Аннотация: The book before you unfold impediments towards accessing external finance, what external funders really look for and above all, edifies how business players can continuously adapt and adjust to the ever-changing business ecosystem. It specifically undrapes six key bottlenecks facing start-ups in accessing Business Angel/ Venture Capitalists' funding. This is achieved by clustering the views of start-up owners (herein called Entrepreneurs), the financiers in question and also by extensively consulting scholarly literature. The approach taken in this book provides entrepreneurs, practitioners and policy makers with a wide lens perspective that enables them develop a clear strategy of how to transform start-ups into multinational companies whilst creating a win-win situation for all parties involved.
