Investors would encounter the following issues while investing directly into startups:
- Firstly, getting access to the right startups is challenging
- Investors may find it difficult to evaluate growth potential accurately.
- Investors may not be able to estimate valuation appropriately
- Direct investment amount would be considerable
- Startups are keen to have a clean and manageable cap table - hence a fund that can invest a larger amount would be preferred rather than individual investors
