ELI5 Mode🧒

Startup funding is the financial backing provided to early-stage companies to fuel their growth, innovation, and market entry. This capital often comes from investors like venture capitalists or angel investors, who bet on high-potential ideas in exchange for equity, though it highlights the high-stakes gamble where most ventures fail but a few skyrocket to success in today's digital economy.
