Anyone ever started a business and had to get venture capital?
where is the best place to find it? any reputable VC's?

My wife worked for a VC firm once. How much cash are you looking for? Usually they won't take you serious for under 5 million and make sure yoou have a MBA and a bomb proof business plan. Oh and don'y forget to be a seasoned business person with lots of successful experience.

Be prepared to give away a hefty chunk of your profits AND your dream too.
Those guys play hard.

HAH!!!!!! I hear ya.
I've done a ton of work for one New York based VC firm. I've got a good friend who is a partner. I'll ask him if he knows anyone in that arena.
