ABSTRACT: With a multitude of different investors, it can be difficult to discern which investor will benefit startups the most in terms of what the start-ups are looking for. The problem being addressed in this research is the challenge that startups face when identifying the best type of venture capital (VC) investment—specifically between government venture capital (GVC) and private venture capital (PVC). This is important to analyze as the choice of VC significantly impacts the long-term success and growth potential of the startup. The research aims to offer insights into the optimal VC investment strategy that allows startups to reach their full potential. It does this through comparison of the effects of GVC on startups and analyzing various factors such as timing and type of support provided. This analysis is conducted through major papers in the field which led to multiple conclusions. One of the major findings was that a blended approach with VCs is important, they both provide different support (not financial), and the timing of VC investment is critical in growth of the startup.
