Key Criteria for Venture Capital Investment

Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing.

Venture capital requires a specific type of startup to meet its investment objectives.

Here's a list of key criteria VCs look for:

Large market size.

The market is large and growing fast.

This provides the startup numerous opportunities to find a position in the market.

Large market population.

The market population provides ample opportunity to scale the startup.

Short sales cycles.

The startup can close customers quickly and at a relatively low cost.

Amenable to technology.

The startup can use technology to provide a portion of the solution.

This gives the startup the ability to automate the business process.

Perception of value.

The customer gets the value proposition of the startup quickly.

This makes customer acquisition efficient.

Sustainable value proposition.

The product provides value over a substantial amount of time.

Flash trends are hard to grow in the long term.

Look for these criteria in startups to fund with venture capital dollars.
