I often think that venture capitalists must have the best public relations machine in the world.
Only a tiny fraction of a percent of entrepreneurial ventures ever get or need venture capital financing, and yet the two most common phrases that come out of most aspiring entrepreneurs mouths are "business plan" and "venture capital." It is as if the venture capitalists have done such a good job of branding that their product name has become common speech for financing a business (like Kleenex for tissues and Xerox for copying).
