Working with Venture Capitalists

The big questions when beginning your quest for venture capital for your company are:

1. How do I find the venture capital firms?
2. How do I rate or qualify the different venture capital firms? Which one is most appropriate for me?
3. How do I get an appointment and have them take a look at my company?
4. What do I need to present to the venture capital firm to convince them to invest in my company?
