This study explores the success relevance of business model components of digital start-ups from the perspective of German venture capital (VC) investors. In doing so, the study explains the importance of the business model in general and the importance of a convincing value proposition and a plausible revenue model in particular for the investment decision process of VC investors. The study takes an exploratory three-dimensional research approach that integrates the meso-perspective on the business model, the micro-perspective on the entrepreneurial personality, and the macro-perspective on the entrepreneurial context, thus operating in a very young research field. In contrast to most studies on this topic, this paper shows that the business model is not the key resource for the success of a start-up, while an early concept of a business idea might be. Communication and interaction with VC investors at this early stage can be valuable tools for the continuous development of the initial business idea.
