The rapid advancement of digital technologies and the increasing importance of innovation-driven economies have elevated start-up enterprises to a strategic position in economic development. Start-ups play a significant role in fostering technological innovation, creating employment opportunities, and enhancing national competitiveness. However, one of the major obstacles faced by start-up ventures is access to adequate financial resources, particularly during the early stages of development. This study examines the theoretical foundations and practical aspects of start-up financing, focusing on the major funding mechanisms available to innovative enterprises. The research investigates various financing sources, including bootstrapping, angel investment, venture capital, crowdfunding, government grants, and traditional bank lending. Using comparative, analytical, and descriptive research methods, the study evaluates the advantages and limitations of different financing instruments and explores international best practices in start-up funding. The findings indicate that diversified financing strategies, supportive regulatory frameworks, developed venture capital ecosystems, and effective government policies significantly contribute to the success and sustainability of start-up projects. Furthermore, the paper proposes recommendations for strengthening the start-up financing environment in emerging economies and enhancing access to capital for innovative entrepreneurs.
