Lighthouse is right. Any venture capitalist is going to want to share in the organizations profits, so if you are starting a non profit organization that is not the way to go. Have you looked into government grants? What about angel investors, who will just want their money back plus interest?

By definition, an investor (or venture capitalist) would be promised a share of your earnings in return for providing start-up funding. There would have to be a profit in order for that to happen. Start-up funding for non-profits is generally provided by a) grants, b) foundations, or c) committed individuals. Hope this helps. Best wishes -- whichever path you choose.

I help start a non-for
profit business that has raised the interest of Venture Capitalist{font:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif} {font}until they find out that we are a non-for profit business. We even had offers given to us. Is there Venture Capitalist that will invests
in a non-profit? We will be entering an
Enterprise Zone Program, so their will be ways to make a huge profit if given a
chance{font:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif} {font}to make our case. Would we have to change to for profit?
