Faadiel Rehman What does it take to raise VC?

Folks,

I've been living in USA for 14 years now and planning to return to SA in the not to distant future. I have an idea for a .com but I have little to no knowledge of what SA VC's are looking for in a business plan. The US has very specific requirements and my assumption is that it would be the same in SA. Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks,
Faadiel
