Venture Capital is the process by which investors fund early stage, more risk oriented business endeavors. A venture capital funding arrangement will typically entail relinquishing some level of ownership and control of the business. The investment is usually in the form of stock or an instrument which can be converted into stock at some future date. Venture capitalists typically expect a 20% to 50% annual return on their investment at the time they are bought out. Some will invest as little as $50,000 and as much as $20 million in any one company, but typical investments range from between $500,000 and $5 million. Management experience is a major consideration in evaluating financing prospects. How to Approach a Venture Capitalist Venture Capitalists are not untouchable people, but they are very busy. Telephone conversations should be friendly, but succinct and to the point. Many times the venture capitalist will require a review of your business plan before talking with you. Be willing to send your plan in advance of any conversation, and follow up on the stated date and time mentioned in your cover letter. There are many sources for venture capital and you as the entrepreneur should be willing to solicit several firms. The initial response time is usually several weeks, with the entire deal taking several months. Order to Day at Amazon Paypal
