I just wanted to mention that #5 is a good point to touch on. We hear a lot of horror story about VC's in general but if you find the right one they can really be that missing link or booster rocket for you're business. Just as the VC is evaluating you, you need to evaluate them. "Do they have the contacts and industry experience that could really help me improve my business?" The last thing you want as a young entrepreneur is a bunch of money with no help. Unless of course you have all the contacts you need already. A VC, even an Angel needs to be someone that really fits in and advocates your business, not just a purse. At least this is what i've learned so far. http://www.brockpredovich.com Evan, two great posts, very informative. I just wanted to mention that #5 is a good point to touch on.

That was useful info, I've often wondered what the criteria is for VC interest. It's a mystifying game to me, because I have built up my business all by myself and from scratch. I don't know if I could handle the pressure of owing all that money and not having full control over the direction of the business. I teach people about the cleaning business starting with no money or credit. Pure sweat equity. Thanks again. Hey another Evan!
