No two words bring as much joy to a founder’s heart as "venture capital" (VC). Whether you run a startup company or an established business, VC is the infusion almost every founder covets. A very small percentage of startups, however, will raise the capital they need to take their business ideas to the next level through VC. Blame it on pre-market concepts, patchy business plans or limited experience. Investors want low-risk, high-reward ventures and will rarely take a chance on untested leaders.
