VCs dont invest in ideas, but invest in businesses and help to grow it. it's the rare ones that take a chance and invest in ideas. The fault is not with them. http://vijaysblog.wordpress.com/2007/08/04/the-background-to-a-fundable-enterprise/ Hiren,

My favorite VC is not a VC at all but a Seed/Angel Investor. These are the people that really take a risk and are the ones behind a venture. VCs these days want to put their money behind a company that is already moving forward and needs an infusion of cash to get bigger. For example, a prominant VC in Silicon Valley told me that he loved my concept and would fund my company if I had a track record and was able to do a proof of concept. If this is the case, I am sure I would not have a problem getting funding. Bottom-line, my favorite VC is the Seed/Angel investor who is truly the VC and taking the most risk.
