As a business coach, I do get the opportunity from time to time to assist, guide and facilitate the search for venture capital and venture capital firms. Recently I have been involved in doing just that and here are some tips on what characteristics to look for when searching for venture capitalists.
Characteristics of a good venture capitalist should include:
1. A high interest in companies in the early stages of development.
2. Investments in your industry.
3. A very good reputation.
4. The ability to get along with you.
5. The ability to offer some sound business advice and contacts in the business and financial community.
6. Success in helping small companies grow.
7. Verifiable credentials and references.
If you use the above tips you will have a higher probability of success in finding the right venture capitalist for you and your company. If you would like to learn more about selecting venture capitalist, please contact Glenn Ebersole through www.businesscoach4u.com or by email at jgecoach@aol.com
