Things you can spend Venture Capital on?
Andy asked:
I have always wondered - if you own your own company and a VC invests an amount of money in it, what is this funding generally *allowed* to be spent on?.
I can think of the obvious - running costs, R & D, salaries - but what else?. If you own/started up the company, is it generally permissible for *you* yourself to be paid a salary out of this funding too for the work you are carrying out?.
Any hints or tips about the correct or best usage of VC investment would be much appreciated.

Good books on Venture Capital?
so annoyed! asked:
Could anyone recommend a few good books on the VC industry? The process of evaluating investments, transactions, their day-to-day involvement with portfolio companies, and exiting? Preferably not a textbook, but it doesn’t have to be dumbed-down either. I am just looking for a good insight into what takes place in a VC’s office on a day-to-day basis and how they decide on deals.

Changing careers - should I enter into a Boutique or large management consulting company?
Dara S asked:
A little more detail. I’m a scientist in a biotech company; but I ended up being responsible for work in venture capital, business development, amongst other things. Now that I’ve left all my larger projects, I want to go into consulting. But is it a bad thing to go into a boutique consulting company or to stick to a large consulting company. I need some direction.

Venture Capital - Best time during start-up to seek VC and timetable for getting Money?
ScottyMac asked:
I’ve been working on a web start-up for about a year now. I have done all the basics - formed the company, put together my team, started making contacts. I am currently working with the programming company and design team on the final specs for the site but my funding is running low. I know the idea is sound and my team is great. So my question is what is the best way find VC companies to submit my business plan to and what is the standard timetable these days to receive money if I get an offer?
Also, how do the new “Early Stage” start-up funding companies differ from a standard VC company?
Thanks

Finding Business Partners to help obtain capital?
razorrazing asked:
I am planning on starting up a business. The problem is, I hear a lot of talk about resumes being very important in obtaining Venture Capital. This makes perfect sense and at all, but my resume is very fresh. I think the best idea is to find a partner who would become the CEO of this company with me having a different job description.
My question: Where do I find a business partner?
