		<description>I am about to start a business and I wasn't sure how to choose the right partner as he would also invest within my business. And, as we both expect a good profit, I realized that both of us chooses with great care the right partner. This article inspired me on methods about how you should choose your own partner as an investor also.</description>

		<description>Hi guys,

Nice article. I' ve read your comments, it's good to see some positive thinkers, I'm tired of the bad news about the lack of capital. It's discouraging especially for young entrepreneurs. I think they should be encouraged to believe in their business ideas and trust their vision, there is a lot of money out there for those who have something to prove and dare to access it.</description>

		<description>I definitely agree with you, a good relationship with the VCs matters a lot. I got funds for my company from an angel investor four years ago, I guess it's more difficult to access capital this year, but not impossible, as long as you know what to do. Check this link:

		<description>Nice article and very good blog, VCgate! I'm planning a media startup and I'm about to start looking for business partners. Have decided upon angel investors, I live in Seattle so I guess I'm gonna contact Seattle investors. Never thought about using business investors databases before, it's amazing you thought about building one and I see it's got all the details one could ever need. Just wanted to tell you how useful I find it. And it's also inexpensive. Thank you.</description>

		<description>I have a business idea to create small businesses in my area. I would love to partner with a relevant investor to share and develop my concept. Is there any one person in the whole world who can listen to me and save the millions who are starving to death with potential talents</description>

		<description>Hi, I like your blog very much, the articles are very useful, especially for start-up entrepreneurs. 
I also started my own business one year ago, in the media field, and I found your site while looking for venture capital info. After downloading the free trial version of the software I could say and it looks very professional and easy to use. I'm going to use your database and, if you can post more advice on how to convince a vc firm to fund a business, I would be very grateful.  
Thanks, Will.</description>

		<description>I liked your article and I agree with you that asking for money should be a very targeted initiative and finding the suitable investors is the key to actually receiving capital. Surveys show that it is getting more and more difficult for startups to be funded, so, besides coming up with an innovative idea, you should also have a very well-structured business plan and an excellent executive summary to be presented to the potential venture capitalist. It's also true that, besides providing the necessary business capital, VCs also come up with advice and expertise in your field. You could call them "tourists" in your company, and here's another good article about &lt;a href="http://www.bothsidesofthetable.com/2010/07/12/how-a-tourist-can-help-you-with-your-startup/" rel="nofollow"&gt;How a Tourist Can Help you with Your Startup&lt;/a&gt;</description>
