Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Venture capital firms typically invest in high-growth potential startups in exchange for a significant ownership stake in the company. This allows them to potentially reap significant returns on their investment if the company is successful. Therefore, Barry and Inge should be prepared to give up some level of control and ownership in their company in exchange for the financing they need to fuel its growth. The other options given (avoiding risky investments, pledging specific assets as collateral, and paying off personal debt) may be requirements or recommendations from a VC firm, but are not the primary condition for receiving financing.
