It is a very difficult task to ask a venture capitalist to mentor you, and at that too a successful one, probably a mind-blowing one at that. However, despite the fact that asking one to help you or even guide you is difficult, but it is definitely not impossible and there are a few ways through which, you might be able to net yourself a VC.

The best possible to fish out yourself that ideal VC is probably at a part, as these are the best places for them and can definitely get you a meeting. Once you are able to successfully stalk your prey, try going ahead and impress the VC by using your charismatic skills. It may sound difficult to some entrepreneurs, but you don't have other way out as well.

Another way to get a positive response from a VC is by introducing yourself through a portfolio Company. The best way to go about this is by coming in touch with a CEO of one of the Companies the VC has invested in, and if that executive sends out an email mentioning your name, well that means you have a great chance.

Though, the best way still remains to be that you can best impress your VC by reading what they write. It's best to know what is your mentor's opinion about things and to also share common interests between each other.
