Venture Capitalists Still Raising Money
from the give-it-to-me dept
Thought the days of huge venture capital funds were over? You'd be wrong. Sure, VCs raised less money this year, but they still raised $55 billion, including 15 funds that were over $1 billion each. Considering the fact that $70 billion was raised last year, and not much of it was put to use, that's plenty of money for startups to make use of over the next few years. Of course, many of the funds say they're focusing on such things as "life sciences" or biotech, so it might help to look in those places.
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
