Find VC via Twitter

November 10th, 2009 View Comments

There are not so many venture capital firms on the online social network, in fact, many of them do not like to be found by “normal public” so easily. I prefer to believe “they d like to keep mystery to allure more people”. However, the good trend is everyday a few more seem to show up in the web2  social network, i.e. twitter.

Want to know what VCs are doing and what kind of projects they may choose?  Wish to propose your new business plan to these censorious investors? – by digesting their writings, tweets and ramblings, you can understand how these guys think and then you can improve your odds of success during a pitch meeting.

The very original list is based on  Larry Rubin and added to by Jasmine Antonick– full credit where credit is due. I once made a similar list before, now I will make this latest list, you can mass follow them in one click.
