VC Outlook '09: Entrepreneur's Listen Up
Events
Written by Efren Toscano   
Monday, 08 December 2008 10:30

Looking for VC funding right now is just a waste of your time. Or is it?  Last week Dealmaker Media held the VC Outlook for the 2009 year and the VC's are not shutting their doors yet. The economy is not in tip-top shape right now, but the money is out there. The days of finding easy money with just a cool idea or a nice looking site are done.  VC's are looking for companies with real business-models and revenue.  They understand that being cashflow positive can be an issue when you do not have the proper finances to do so, but that is where they like to come in and help get you to that next level.  Watch for yourself what each VC had to say about the issue and how not every VC thinks the same.
