Something Ventured, Plenty Gained

Business Week is predicting that venture capitalists are opening up their wallets again. Their reasoning seems to be that the Nasdaq has risen, and VCs tend to follow the Nasdaq. Of course, an even better measure is actually looking at what VCs are doing, and recent investments are up. Also, if you just talk to VCs these days, they're all saying that dealflow is up, and that they're finally investing in new companies again. It's about time.
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
