Detail information and opinion of authors regarding research topic explained as under:
The concept of Startup
According to the Fontinelle, (2018) a startup is identified as a young or new business that is just happening to develop. It is mainly small in size and initially financed and run by a handful of originators or an individual.

As per the research topic, descriptive design is more suitable and appropriate because through this, researcher can be derived conclusion in more effective and efficient manner.

Interpretivism philosophy will be applied in this research report because this assist in evaluating information effectively or appropriately which will further outputs in arriving at the accurate and valid conclusion. In case of positivism philosophy, this type of philosophy is not used in this research because it is not appropriate to carrying out investigation within predetermined time period.
Data collection: This is another and important part of the research method which is followed by the investigator in order to collect relevant data from the respondents. For gathering proper information, there are mainly two methods such as primary and secondary (Denzin and Giardina, 2018). Under primary method of data collection, researcher need to prepare a simple questionnaire which will support them in identifying opinion of respondents about the research topic. On the other hand, secondary source of data is gathered from already published material. In this method, investigator require to use different books, journals, articles, magazines, publication research and so on. All these aspects of secondary method, support a researcher to accumulate data in detail manner about the research topic. Beside this, it will also support in gaining proper information regarding how the competitive edge can be developed via new idea and concept of business. Thus, both method are more useful and valuable for the investigator to gather relevant data. But as per the research topic, primary source of data is used to collect information, beside this, researcher require to prepare questionnaire which is more suitable because this give accurate data and not take more time and cost of researcher.
Data Sampling: There are mainly two type of data sampling method such as probability sampling and non-probability sampling. In case of probability sampling, it is follow randomization in order to make sure that entire components of population acquire an equal possibility to be a section of selected sample (Ducci and et. al., 2017). Beside this, simple random sampling method is used by the researcher because it give equal opportunity to the respondents. On the other hand, in case of non-probabilistic, it is more reliant or dependent on the investigator's capability to choose components for a sample. Both are useful and appropriate method but as per the research topic, researcher need to use probabilistic random sampling method. Researcher has taken sample size of 30 through systematic random sampling.
Research approach: There are two types of research approach such as deductive and inductive. Under inductive method, it is applied for following by experts and this can support in developing hypothesis on assessment basis. Both approaches of research are useful but according to research topic, inductive method is more suitable because it will help in drawing valid conclusion.
Limitation: There are different number of issues or problems which are witnessed at the period of executing research appropriately and effectively. Time is consider as main limitation of this research topic (Gartner, Carter and Hills, 2016). Research topic is vast and for acquiring the response, accurate and specific time period is required. So in the entire it can be explained that time is not more for the entire activities of research.

Primary research: It is determined as a methodology applied by investigator in order to gather information in direct manner rather than relaying on information gathered from previously completed research.

This technique is more suitable for the researcher as compare to interview because it not take more time and money of entrepreneur. So in this research topic, questionnaire is more suitable and appropriate for collecting data from the respondents.

Primary and secondary method of research are useful but as per the research topic, investigator only use primary method and prepare a questionnaire by 30 respondents.
Cost- It is important and essential part for the investigator to analysis different source of fund where they collect sufficient amount of capital.

There are some resources such as bank loan, friends, relatives, government and many other ways. All these ways support an entrepreneur to collect sufficient amount of fund and run their business in successful manner.

TASK 4
P6 Reflection on the effectiveness of research methods and techniques
Research methods and techniques are more effective for the researcher to collect accurate amount of information within predetermined time period. Beside this, Research design, research philosophy, data collection, data Sampling, research approach and many other methods are used to collect accurate information. All these are appropriate and essential for the researcher to gather proper information from the respondents. In this, I have used primary method and prepare an effective questionnaire which is assist me in gathering accurate data. With the help of secondary source of information, literature review play vital role for identifying the opinion of authors about the research topic. In this, I have also used Gantt chart and time scale which is help me in identifying completion time period of research activity. Thus, all these method and techniques are useful and valuable for the investigator or me to complete all activities in a proper time period.
Composing a Programming Assignment Helper is ahead torment to most understudies. The cycle is inconvenient and drawn-out; nonetheless, to get the ideal score, you genuinely need a lot of troublesome work. Regardless, the best thing about composing an examination paper is that it further fosters one's composing capacities and helps in making musings to think reasonably.
