ABSTRACT: Venture capital is an important
source of funding for startups in the financial markets and is also critical to
the success of startups. This paper aims to explore investor preferences in
venture capital and the success factors of start-ups. First, I conducted a data
distribution analysis of the investment situation of some investment companies
around the world during the 70 years from 1950 to 2020. Secondly, I analyze the
practical application of venture capital from the two aspects of start-up
entrepreneurs and venture capital investors. It includes what kind of investors
should be selected for startups, and the preferences of investors when choosing
investment projects. Finally, I discuss the success requirements of startups
and the help of venture capital for startups and use regression models to determine
the relationship between startup success and venture capital activity.
