This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the mechanisms for financing
startup projects, their economic essence, forms, and practical significance. In the
context of a modern innovative economy, startups serve as a key driver of technological
progress, economic growth, and job creation. However, one of the most critical
challenges for startups is access to financial resources. The article examines both
traditional and modern startup financing mechanisms, including own funds
(bootstrapping), bank loans, venture capital, business angels, crowdfunding,
government grants, and the participation of international financial institutions. In
addition, the paper analyzes the current state of startup financing in Uzbekistan,
identifies existing problems, and proposes practical recommendations for improving
financing mechanisms and strengthening the startup ecosystem.
