(Episode 324; 13 minutes 32) So you’ve got a great idea for a business, but you need more money to get it started. You decide to call in a venture capitalist. In the current economic climate what is the likelihood of attracting venture capital? What can you do to improve your chances and minimize the risk for investors? Conversely, how do you ensure that you’re not giving away too much to the people who have the cash?

In today’s BTalk Australia Phil Dobbie talks to Steve Anderson, a Managing Partner in the Marquis Advisory Group in San Francisco. His business provides expertise to Australian and New Zealand businesses wanting to enter the United States.
