Funds from Investors / Venture capitals

Hello everyone,

Do I need to have a company ALREADY RUNNING before I can ask for funds from Investors / Venture capitals ?

I thaught that money is asked to form(start) the company, and so Investors / venture capitals provide funds BEFORE the company is born, so that the money can be used to FORM the company through processes like obtaining licences/registrations and permissions etc.

There is a series of funding activity in various phases of a business.
You can get a brief idea by reading this chapter on Varsity.
