If you are looking for venture capital to grow your small business you had better be prepared for a very hard nosed group of people who are not forgiving of fools.
Venture capitalists are alive and well still giving away money and making investments regardless of the news in the media and the economy. However, it suits them in low economic times to be selective in the types of companies they’ll invest in.
It’s interesting to see what is happening in the US at the moment. Venture capitalists are concentrating on businesses involved in the life sciences, biotech, medical devices, communications, information technology and clean-technology.
You have a better than average chance of snagging capital if you’re past the concept stage and can show a successful track record. Quality management is another factor that carries a lot of weight with venture capitalists.
Talk to other business owners in your industry who may have received venture capital. Find an accountant or attorney experienced with companies that have raised venture capital in your industry. You will find plenty of venture capitalists by searching Google under the same name. Also I can highly recommend an Australian company http://www.achaeus.com who are very experienced in raising capital ideas.
