When it comes to raising venture capital funding for a start-up, founders require more than just having a wonderful idea which they believe will change the world and a few paying customers.

In reality, funding a start-up is hard work, especially in today’s highly competitive market. So every business owner needs, just a robust strategy but a creative one in order to get sufficient funds for his business.

Nigerian start-ups can learn from Vettery, a New York City-based start-up specializing in matching job seekers with the best possible employer. It recently raised $9 million in series-A funding led by Greycroft Partners and Raine Ventures.
