The way that this forum post is worded and explained, it reminds me of the show Shark Tank. I would say that Shark Tank does exactly what this forum post is portraying which is to provide funds to start up companies with new ideas in an effort to a hope the company flourishes, thus providing a hefty profit back to the venture capitalists. Among the different market structures however, the best one that would provide the highest possible return for a new company would be a monopolistic competition market structure. This sort of market structure is competitive, but not as competitive as a perfect competition market structure. In a perfect competition market structure every competitor is selling products that almost directly mirror each other. The differences are quite minimal which makes controlling the market place very difficult. However, in a monopolistic competitive atmosphere, competitors are selling products that are closely related to each other, but have various differences that can set them apart from other companies. This market structure is the perfect place to provide the highest possible yield. A company would not be able to get their foot in the door in a oligopoly or an monopoly because the companies there already have a hold on the market and wont allow for a new competitor to challenge them. In a monopolistic competitive structure, this new start up company is able to enter the market place like all the other companies who may have similar but not exact products to the new start up company. If the new start up company has the ability to deliver a product that is popular and can sell over their competitors, they might be able to eventually rise through the ranks into a higher less competitive market structure. This yields the greatest profit for the investor and the start up company because entering the market place during the competitive stages is way cheaper than trying to battle with the heavyweights.
