Introduction to the Venture Capital Survey

Method

The Profit Dynamics Inc. Venture Capital Surveys were conducted by contacting over 500 of the most active venture capital companies across the United States by e-mail, fax and postal mail. A total of 250 companies over the three years completed and returned the survey.

While other surveys attempt to answer the questions of how much capital is invested in what industries, what companies and what geographic locations, the Profit Dynamics Inc. surveys answers more qualitative questions that are important to entrepreneurs. When entrepreneurs look to raise capital from venture capitalists they need to know these answers.
