NEA Sticks To Its Investing Guns
from the slow-and-steady dept
There have been a ton of articles about how venture capitalists are claiming now is the best time to start a startup. However, with that said, just about every venture capital fund has been cutting back on their investments - both in terms of the number of deals and the amount invested. The one that stands apart from the trend, though, is New Enterprise Associates, who's fund is apparently so large they simply have to keep investing at the same rate. Of course, they're still fairly conservative in the deals they do and they don't charge a management fee based on the fund size like most VC firms. Anyway, has their ever been a venture capitalist who was heard saying that any time was a bad time to start a company?
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.
