!!MUST READ - Funding outline

[Fanatik]

Plenty of you wonder how to approach a venture capital firm. Well, yesterday I read all about Google and their start-up - to - present formation. Very impressive and very REASONABLE! If you don't know about their history, do some research. They started like all of us -- with an idea and a passion for doing what they know and love. Then they were Google. The place we all visit to conduct searches.

But they also have venture capitalist funding. One of their biggest sources? Sequoia Capital. If you've ever wondered how the big dogs do it -- check here: Elements of Sustainable Companies - Writing A Business Plan - Submit A Business Plan

You don't need anything other than these basic principals and outlines to make a submission for capital. If you're going to submit an idea for a mom and pop donut making shop, you're going to get shot down. But if you have a genuinely novel idea, that will accomodate the masses... well... you may be what they're looking for. MODS -- I'm posting this in General Business and Investment forums for wider dissemination, as I feel this is one of the most-asked questions on YE.
