Good post on “finders”: or, how not to find venture capital
November 19th, 2007 by Benjamin KuoMarc Averitt has a good post on “finders” — folks who help companies find capital — and how useful they are (or aren’t) in the venture capital area. Well worth a read. The majority of VCs I talk to will not fund deals from finders; and, most of the well regarded investment bankers will not engage early stage venture deals to help them find investment, because they understand that the VCs do not like funding deals with third party finders.
