It's A Different World For VCs
from the times-are-a-changing dept
At this year's NDA event held by Red Herring, there was a lot more reflective "looking back" on things rather than the usual "go-go" look only forward mentality found there in years past. The best quote was someone pointing out that the whole "first mover advantage" concept was a little silly: "a bad decision made in three days is still a bad decision". However, some of the venture capitalists still say now is a great time to be investing, since you can get so much for so little. Venture capital investing has certainly changed, though. Even keiretsu is a bad word these days.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
