What Exactly is an Investment Banker?

Courtesy of Entrepeneur.com

Investment bankers differ...

Believe it or not, there was a time when no one knew what a venture capitalist was. Today, if you're a venture capitalist, you know you've arrived because, not only do most people know what you do, but you also have your own cliché nickname: "vulture capitalist." Even the term "angel investor" has started to drift into mainstream vocabulary without being mistaken for some religious term.
However, when it comes to investment bankers, I find that many entrepreneurs don't have a clue as to who they are, what they do, and how they differ from a VC or an angel. This is a curious problem since the concept of an investment banker has existed far longer than either of the other two terms. So, why am I so hung up on the confusion surrounding this term? Because I'm an investment banker, and I believe that many entrepreneurs fail to consider what the people in my profession can do to help them raise money.
