Venture capital firms are not typically interested in every type of firm in every type of industry. Historically, they have favored high-tech industries. Types of industries usually favored by venture capital firms are computers, networking, software, the Internet, biotech, medical instruments, and health care.
This does not mean you cannot get venture capital if your firm is in another industry. It just means you will have to search harder for a niche venture capital firm that suits your business. The Internet is a great and prolific source of information on venture capital firms.
