		<description><![CDATA[<p>Lately I've been doing some fundraising for several dating-related companies. It's interesting to see what catches VC's interest given the current investment climate. Most are pure tech plays, other are media plays and then there are the outliers who will listen to any pitch whatsoever.</p>
<p>Balancing a game-changing concept and paranoia with getting face time with people holding vast sums of capital to invest has been quite the learning experience.</p>
<p>In case you want to play along at home, here are a few links I've found of interest. I'll keep adding to the list, the Startup category is full of more links.</p>
<p><a href="http://venturehacks.com/term-sheet-hacks">Venture Hacks</a> - Itâ€™s like match.com for investors and entrepreneurs. Hereâ€™s the summary from the launch post: The most common question we hear from entrepreneurs is, â€œCan you introduce me to investors?â€ Yes we can. Weâ€™re going to recommend startups on Venture Hacks. Investors are invited to subscribe to our recommendations. And everyone is welcome to recommend startups here. Request an invite if you want to help test the Recommended feature before we open it upâ€”itâ€™s also open for browsing in the meantime. Check it out.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.feld.com/blog/archives/2005/08/term_sheet_seri.html">Term sheet Series Wrap Up</a> - Brad Feld is a tremendous resource when it comes time to look for money. A must-read blog if you're focused on startup finance. There are many other fantastic blogs, check out Brad's blogroll for the best of the best.</p>
