[net.invest] Advice on venture capital?

trc (01/31/83)

Does anyone have any good references on investing in new companies - IE
purchasing stock that is not available through brokers?  What factors
should be considered, analysis done, etc?  Anyone with personal experience
that has either paid off or been an instructive failure?

How about references on small-scale venture capital type investing?
