Can Going to a Venture Café Increase My Chances of Obtaining Venture Capital Funding?
Talking one’s ideas over with fellow entrepreneurs provides a good way for an entrepreneur to see the flaws that are inherent in his business plan. An entrepreneur will be much more successful if he spends some time identifying the problems associated with his business, and coming up with solutions to the problems, before he asks professional VCs and angel investors to invest in his business. The most valuable thing you can get out of a Venture Cafe is a referral — to an angel investor, a technologist who is looking for work, or a potential customer.
