VCs Merging
from the consolidation-time dept
A lot of VC firms popped up over the past five years or so, and suddenly they're finding it difficult to survive. Exit events for their portfolio are increasingly rare, and they certainly can't raise any more money at this point. So, many of the marginal VC firms are merging with other marginal VC firms to create larger marginal VC firms. It's unlikely to help them much, but maybe it'll keep them in business long enough to make a little more cash on "management fees" before having to go look for other jobs.
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
