Today, start-ups are hard pressed to find interested VCs. That's because VCs are proceeding with caution, either making investments in existing portfolio companies to ensure success, or looking very, very carefully at new investments to prevent getting burned. <p>Indeed, it's tough going these days to obtain venture capital, but it's not impossible. If you're a start-up with huge growth potential (think tens of millions in revenue here) or a fast-growth company already hitting the revenue mark, venture capitalists might be interested.
