The Partnership Between the Venture Capitalist and the Entrepreneur

The most important thing you need to take into account when seeking venture capital is that you and the venture capitalist you are seeking funding from form a partnership.

Now, what does this mean? Well, the venture capitalist has the same goals as you do. He wants to make money, so it is in his interest that your company is successful.

The more successful your company is, the more profits the venture capitalist makes off his investments.

This means that you and your investor work closely together and share each other’s expertise during your partnership.

The venture capitalist will more than likely ask to have a seat on your board of directors to have some kind of control of the company.
