Introduction
The start-up scene in a global context is exploding, with increasingly more new start-ups raising large amounts of venture capital and disrupting existing business models on a grand scale. What does it take to finance new ventures? Typical start-ups and young companies have impressing financial needs but face limited access to traditional financing enjoyed by well-established firms.
