This article examines the effectiveness of venture investments within the startup ecosystem and explores modern methods of risk management. Venture capital plays a crucial role in financing innovative startups, yet it is inherently associated with high levels of uncertainty and risk. The study analyzes key indicators used to evaluate investment efficiency, including return on investment (ROI), internal rate of return (IRR), and startup growth metrics. In addition, the research identifies major types of risks faced by venture investors, such as financial, technological, market, and operational risks. Special attention is given to risk mitigation strategies, including portfolio diversification, staged financing, and active investor involvement. The article also reviews international best practices and assesses their applicability in emerging markets. The findings suggest that effective evaluation and risk management mechanisms are essential for improving investment outcomes and ensuring the sustainable development of startup ecosystems.
