VCs Spending Again?
from the it's-about-time dept
In the last few months, the general consensus among venture capitalists was that it was (finally) time to start investing in startups again, rather than nursing along the few startups left in their portfolio that they believed still had a chance to maybe be bought out by a larger company. Now the numbers are starting to come in, and it looks like VCs really are investing in some startups, but a lot of the boost is coming from biotech investments rather than info tech. Information technology startups still took in quite a bit of money, but not noticeably different than in the previous quarter. Still, the recent bump in IPO activity, and general optimism in other areas of the tech economy suggest that VCs are really starting to open the vaults again.
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.
