As such, the ‘dynamic equilibrium’ achieved by a constantly innovating entrepreneur could generate the conditions for:
increasing opportunities for employment (comprising various competitive skill sets); ? additional wealth creation; ? introduction and dissemination of new methods and technology; ? overall economic growth.

Business incubation is a dynamic process of business enterprise development. Incubators nurture young firms, helping them to survive and grow during the start-up period when they are most vulnerable.

An angel investor is not an investor with golden wings and a halo but rather an individual who provides start-up capital to a new business and expects a percentage of ownership equity in return.

Venture capitalists are re-calibrating their priorities on new and early-stage investments for the new entrants. Venture capital funds are professional investment organization that invest in growing industries in order to make a profit.

The traditional path is debt financing, which involves taking on a bank loan or private loan. Debt is borrowing money from an outside source with the promise to return the principal, in addition to an agreedupon level of interest.
