Venture Capital: When Is It Right for Your Company?

In the startup world, where fundraising can make or break your business, venture capital (VC) is one of the most talked-about funding avenues. But is it the right fit for your startup? When should you consider approaching VCs, and what expectations should you be aware of?

In this episode of P&L, we dive into the basics of venture capital with Kevin Brockland, Managing Partner of Indelible Ventures, and Ng Sai Kit, Chairman of the Malaysian Venture Capital & Private Equity Association (MVCA) and Managing Partner of Artem Ventures.

Among other things, we discuss when and why startups should consider VC funding, the expectations involved in raising venture capital, and what the process and timeline entail. Kevin and Sai Kit also share insights on what makes a startup VC-appropriate, how founders can effectively evaluate and engage with different VCs, and the value VCs can bring beyond just capital—such as strategic guidance, networking opportunities, and operational support.

Whether you’re a startup founder contemplating your funding options or just curious about the venture capital process, this interview offers valuable insights to help you navigate the financial frontier.
