I wish every startup founder would read this. I know someone who feels really screwed by his investor.

I'd also recommend this video of TheFunded's Adeo Ressi (at The Next Web Conference 2008), as he outlines a number of pitfalls to be aware of, too: http://vimeo.com/1047702

This was great - well written, quality advice, an area not overly covered. Thanks!

Don't forget the obvious of http://www.thefunded.com/, which is a site designed to keep tabs on VCs.
