So you have a dream, an all-new idea for an Internet startup that's
guar-an-teed to make trillions. Since you need money to make money in
this world, that means you must convince a venture capitalist to be
your Daddy Warbucks. But how do you get your business plan in the
door? When you do get short-listed and it's dog-and-pony-show time,
what do the VCs look for from your PowerPoint presentation? And
finally, what happens after you've convinced them to cut you a check?
Andrew, who's been on both sides of the entrepreneur/investor fence,
tells you exactly what venture capitalists are looking for in a
startup company.
