How many companies are you expecting as an answer to your question?

Clarification of Question by idai-ga on 29 Apr 2006 05:15 PDT
I would like to see around 50-75 of such companies. I am not sure if
this is aking too much, but I would guess that there are lists on the
web from research firms (eg http://www.rutbergco.com) or from industry
news services such as Tornado Insider that would list these companies.
Thanks!

If you had access to online databases such as VentureExpert or Capital
IQ, you could get this data pretty easily.

Right. Unfortunately, I do not have access to these. So, are you
suggesting that I should get a 495 USD p.a. account for the answer to
my question?  :-)  Thanks!

Idai, 

Unfortunatley, I didn't find 50-70 venture capital firms; however here
are five companies to get you started.

Dear idai,

I didn't find enough companies to make a complete answer for you, so I
provided my findings as a free comment.

You will only be charged when a researcher posts an answer in the answer box.
