How much is the starting investment required to start new S/w company

That depends. Where is the company located? What are the required staffing levels? Are you developing a product, haw many years before it gets to market? What are your maketing plans?

I would say between 10K for a one-man home based business to 1M for a team of qualified US / EU based developers with marketers etc.

The real answer will come from your business plan. American Express offers free resources to begin making a business plan.
