"High-Tech Startup" by Nesheim is a good book to read if you are serious. Nesheim is an ex-VC and he goes into the details of getting funded including the splits of some major deals like Netscape to show how the ownership was cut up initially and by the time they got to IPO. He also explains what a typical VC is looking for in a potential investment.

But getting VC funding can be a two-edged sword. The CEO at one startup I know of said taking money from VC was like making a deal with the devil
