VCs Finally Coming Back
from the it's-about-time dept
It looks like VCs are finally getting more comfortable investing again. While it's not entirely clear if the IPO market really is back, it certainly looks like VCs feel pretty good about the potential to cash out sometime in the near future, by IPO or by acquisition. Also, contrary to the study earlier this week, the article claims that early stage companies are getting a lot more cash. This is a good thing. While plenty of bad investments get made (and companies often start to confuse VC investment with revenue), having more capital flowing generally leads to more innovation.
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
