As the environment for startups is getting mature, so much more resources comes from government supports, incubators, or investors. Startups are able to access the resources; use them to develop and expand their business to accelerate. The founders are getting fund from investors, at the same time, founders have to think about the occurring management problems after receiving the funds.
This study defines the four management problems as research questions, the following are: first, how to overcome the conflicts regardless if it’s short-term or long-term goals. Second, how to avoid the reorganization of the executive level in the company. Third, how to manage the increasing number of employees, and lastly, how to face the resource reallocation after VC funding. These are the questions that Startups might face after funding through literature reviews. Through the research questions, it studies the interview with the four Startups conducted in Taiwan and records the differences in an organization before and after funding in five observed dimensions. Finally, this study collects the experience and suggestions shared by the case companies and combines together with the opinions from industry domain experts to provide valuable solutions for founders to handle with each management problem in the conclusion part.
