Finding A Venture Capital Firm

The world of venture capital firms is very small. It can be hard to get your foot in the door. Once you are able to tap into that world, you should be able to find the firm that best suits your corporation's needs. You should start by asking your securities lawyer and accountant. You'll want to speak with any colleagues who have experience working with a venture capital firm to raise money for their own ventures. There are publications and journals for venture capitalists that should be available in any public library. Another way to find a venture capital firm is to perform a Web search on www.google.com or your search engine of choice, for venture capital or venture capitalists.
