I know the 20s was the start of the venture capital era - were businesses in the 1910s mostly dependent on banks or rich family members? Thank you in advance!

One of the hottest internet concepts today has received a lot of press.

Everyone is wondering where will the revenue come from?
I have a few ideas which may help. In fact I have registered a few domains that play on these ideas. How can I get these ideas to the right people without having them “yanked out” from under me?

I have contacted their venture capital firm and they are un-willing to hear the ideas. They claim lots of ideas are in the works.

How should I proceed?

Given the company’s financials over the past few years and a potentially lousy fourth quarter, do you think the company will survive beyond 2009? Or will it be bought up by a venture capital firm, restructred and sent back into the world?

Working on family entertainment / pizza restaurant. I need venture capital. Can anyone recommend any good websites , venture capital companies to contact? Thanks!

Why? asked:


I majored in Computer Science/IT. I work for a consulting firm and most people talk about investment, capital, private equity, share holder, venture capital, and the like. I have no idea whatsoever what those terms are, since they never did teach those in college. When my co-workers talk about these kind of stuff, I am always out of words. I want to learn all about these business terms? Is there a Book that you can recommend or any learning alternatives that would help me be able to hop in on one of the “business topic conversations” that they always have. Thanks!

Situation is a start-up company with venture capital but can’t (won’t) pay my quoted rate (I’m an independent consultant, business reengineering). They want me to come back with something much lower, maybe half.

I’m OK with that IF I can negotiate something in return (and not just lower my price without due consideration). They’ve hinted at future upside (for them, as a company), so I’m wondering if there is a way for me as a non-employee to get stock options if I lower my consulting fee.

I have no experience with non-cash compensation as a consultant. Anyone out there have some good information or ideas?
Search27Man - Thank you for your forthright assessment, born of your experience. I’m interested in what others might say as well.

Hey, I am considering doing a double major in business (finance) and accounting. I can do it in 4 years, I would just have a tight schedule with a tougher work load and not be able to take any elective classes that seem interesting. Is it worth it to risk a better GPA if I were just to mahjor in accounting? How does it benefit me if I want to go into financial services (i-banking, private equity, hedge fund, venture capital…) and/or corp. finance in energy or healthcare?
