Startup Capital      
Capital is tricky – don’t let anyone tell you it is easy to raise. Most very early stage companies are better off to build some value before they try to raise money.

We shortened our list because some sources of capital have not been doing early stage investing since 2000. If you know of a source that should be listed here, please contact us at

 
Texas Venture Post www.texasventurepost.com is a source of information and help for entrepreneurs in Texas to find funding.

Texas Venture Firms – Texas has a number of venture capital firms. Their investment posture changes over time, and we do not link to them. If you need an introduction to a specific VC in Texas, let us know. In some cases, we make introductions.
