I've spoke before about Sun's Statup Essentials program, an offering to help startups get their business off the ground with enterprise-class hardware and software at discounted prices. They act as a strategic partner, providing training and advice, discounted hosting and storage solutions, and connections to a huge network of investors.
Now they've taken it a step further and added a program called VC Connect, which actually matches your business profile up with select investors for the purpose of acquiring funding. This is a golden opportunity for startups, as many do not even know where to begin and are unprepared when it comes to raising capital. Whether you're looking for seed funding or a big time 3rd-round investment, access to Sun's network of venture capitalists and angel investors is sure to be valuable. It's about who you know, not what you know.
Also check out Y Combinator, which does the same sort of thing on a smaller scale.
