		<description>Ben - thats a great list of useful tips. From my experience of raising private equity funding, the key focus sounds really obvious, but is just very focused on getting a really deep understanding of the value proposition. How does that value proposition sit in the market and the current market trends - the current economic turmoil will create new business models from the changes to previous trends and those with clarity of thought and the value proposition will fare better with our friends in VC world.</description>

		<description>Thank you to everyone that commented.

@Kat: I&#039;ve learned that it&#039;s important to show VCs potential acquisition partners -- Who is going to buy you? Oftentimes VCs will ask that question because ultimately that&#039;s the goal (at least for most VC-backed startups.)

So you should have a list of potential acquirers in your mind, and you should have legitimate reasons for that list. And you may even be building strategy and product against that list.</description>
