Taiwan's startup scene is vibrant, but the "lack of funding" is a major issue for most entrepreneurs. Venture capitalists are generally hesitant to invest in very early-stage teams, except for a few exceptions. The main reason is their lack of confidence in unproven innovative products or services that have not been validated by the market yet. Even if the venture capitalist believes in the team's potential, they usually make larger individual investments, leading to the startup team losing control. On the other hand, if the startup team issues shares at an inflated value of 100 times, it allows them to retain control, but it's unlikely that many venture capitalists will recognize such a high value at such an early stage. This creates a dilemma for venture capital investments.
