Fundraising and venture capital networking is notoriously challenging for new founders. Venture capitalists (VCs) can be the gatekeepers to a business succeeding or failing by providing much needed seed and growth capital.

The two common types of venture capital include traditional venture capital and corporate venture capital (CVC). CVC can be organized as an independent arm of a company that invests externally in synergistic opportunities. Traditional VCs are financially driven and know how to build and scale companies.
