Smooth Ride to Venture Capital

Pankaj Sahai

Have you got a great business idea but not enough money to translate into a reality? Have you got a small ongoing venture that can grow truly big if only you had the money? Is your venture at too early a stage such that banks won’t fund you? In all such cases, you can grow your venture, create immense wealth and realise all your entrepreneurial dreams by using venture capital to fund your business.

This is first comprehensive handbook of venture capital funding for Indian entrepreneurs. It deals with the whole gamut of issues related to the complex, multi-dimensional subject of venture capital in a simple and engaging manner.

How does the VC make money by investing in my business?
How should I create my business plan to present to the VC?
