Background of the Study
Venture capital (VC) plays a pivotal role in the growth of start-ups, particularly in sectors like technology, where initial capital investment is often needed to develop innovative products and scale operations. In Kebbi State, the tech industry is in its nascent stages, and while there are numerous tech entrepreneurs, many face significant challenges in accessing the necessary capital to bring their ideas to fruition (Aliyu & Murtala, 2023). Venture capitalists can provide not only financial support but also strategic guidance, network connections, and market insights, which are essential for navigating the complexities of the tech landscape.

This study aims to examine how venture capital influences the growth of tech entrepreneurs in Kebbi State, focusing on both the positive and negative impacts of VC investment on business performance, market expansion, and sustainability.
