One
of
the
important
steps
in
the
process
of
raising venture capital
is
in
knowing
which
firms
might
be
interested.
This
includes
knowledge
of which
firms
are
"in"
or
"out"
of
the
series
A
game,
who
the
right
partner
at
the
firm
would
be
for
the
technology,
and
what
would
be
the
best
way
to
approach
that
decision
maker.
VC
firms
see
thousands
of
business
plans
per
year.
The
best
way
to
get
your
plan
in
front
of a
VC
is
to
have
it
"delivered"
by a
trusted
source,
such
as a
law
firm
that
the
VC
trusts,
or a
seed
fund
that
they
trust.
The
network
of
connections
that Express
Ventures &
our
legal
partners
can
touch
covers
most
of
the venture community
with
direct
relationships,
or
partners
that
can
make
direct
introductions
for
our
portfolio
companies.
If
we
invest
in
your
company,
we
do
so
with
the
expectation
that
our
network
will
be
valuable
in
helping
your
firm
receive
the
financing
that
it
needs
to
become
a successful
company.
