Venture Capital Funding?

Question

How do you prepare a business case for VCF and how much funding would they expect you to put into the venture

Answer 1

The level of preparation depends upon the VC. But, you will basically need a very good business plan ... check the Small Business Administration site for a decent template. Make sure your focus on marketing and cash flow.

As for the funding YOU bring to the table, it's more important that you show that the business is capable of generating funds. You don't necessarily need to bring ANY money, but it won't hurt. The last one I did, I brought in $200,000. But, the VC would have done it if I had only brought $50,000.
