If you think your startup might be ready to go after venture capital here are some tips on how to make your final decision and get the process started.

1. Decide on Your Goals

What do you want from your business? Are you trying to take over the world, or do you just want stability? Do you feel strongly about being the sole decision-maker, or are you OK with sharing control?
