Approach

idea posted by Gandhi Rajan Sr. Associate, ICICI Securities
I think you need to know how to prepare yourself for approaching a venture capital firm. If you are an investor looking to get help with your investments from a venture capital firm, then the first thing you need to get ready is how much money you would like to invest with their company. If you have other investments, decide how much of your total investment money you would like to put at risk with this type of venture

Yes gandhi these are basic things we should remember when entering and they also should go into the meeting knowing up front that it will be very risky. As usual however, the bigger the risk, the higher the pay out is. The money they invest is going into other small businesses, so your return is largely dependent upon the success of those small business owners. If their business goes under, unfortunately, so does all of your money.

To Succeed

idea posted by Satish Pandey Sr. Associate, IL&FS Venture Corporation
I feel that we should do some research on portfolio and call each individual business if you have to in order to get more information about what they plan. They are entitled to keep trade secrets to themselves, but if you let them know that you are a potential investor and you would like to know more about their company, it is truly amazing what sort of information they will give you. Call around, and when you find someone with a bit of backbone, and that give off the impression of having their act together, then go with them. There is a high chance that they will succeed and you'll receive a great return on your investment.

Great Idea

idea posted by Varun Sood Associate, JP MorganChase
I could say if you have a great idea and need some money to start off your new business model, then pitch it to a reliable venture capital firm. If they like it, they'll often times give you 100% of the start up funds you need to make it happen. Isn't that great? Now, consider that you will have to forfeit some of your profits to them, but it is a good option if your idea is really big, and you have no other choice.
