We developed a startup reputation model. I am writing my Master Thesis around the topic of "testing & improving the model of startup reputation evaluation" created by our Prof. and PhD students. 1) Where can I find the contacts of venture capitalists? 2) Do they care at all to spend time on filling questionnaires or having detailed interviews with me? What would be the cheapest (but effective) way to approach them / motivate to collaborate?
Go find investment forums/meetups like Zino Society, Keiretsu Forum, or whatever you have locally. Just attend and introduce yourself to people. Keep going back and have a simple business card to exchange information. Follow up via email. Just meet them first and talk about what your doing, but I would not bring a questionnaire for anyone to fill out at the networking events. Don't go with an agenda, just go to meet people and if your genuine you will find people genuinely interested in just helping (like me!). I don't have a PhD or Masters, but it sounds like you're asking how to network with people.
