How to be a VC without any Capital

I think most better funds will not engage in this. It is a bad sign for the startup.

I often introduce companies to funds, but I just want the chance to invest alongside, which almost always happens. I am sometimes offered advisory shares for making a conndction which I have always declined.

That was the author's point—this isn't something you do to make money, it's a way to show good firms that you have the skills needed to be a solid associate/analyst.

how do you find these companies? (or, to put it clearly, what I need to achieve first and how to get attention second?) :)
