After inventing a product, one of the most difficult things an inventor has to do is to come up with the money to fund the development of their invention. For most inventors, raising money is a scary proposition. Where do I get the money? What is an angel investor? Do I need a business plan? How much money will I actually need to get my invention made? Most people seem to have a very general idea of what to do but when it comes down to it they simply do not know how to raise the money they need.

Walking through the smartly decorated Sand Hill offices can be a shock for new entrepreneurs, which are likely in or just out of the dorm room. It can look like venture capitalists are “Kings of the World”. But, never fear Venture Capitalists have bosses too. And, their bosses are typically much more demanding than any boss you will ever have.
