Do you have a plausible path to 10x+ing tens of millions in capital?
Ultimately the business of VC means that you're dealing with people how have a high risk tolerance but need the potential high payout to balance their risk.
If you have a sustainable, profitable, but small business that needs capital to expand, but likely won't grow significantly, you're better off talking to a family office or individual investors. I'd avoid banks if you can help it.
If you actually do think you have a plausible VC investment then it's a game of networking. Go through every person you know and look for someone who knows someone who can give you an introduction. If all else fails there's cold outreach but those can be difficult. You might need to bring on a partner who can handle that side of things if it's critical to your business.
