A different bunch of VCs and small funds on stage talk about deals they have made this year in terms of investment.
Did they see any major change that happened in the last 12 months?
Valuation of companies are up again, unreasonably. Some firms have raised some incredible amount of money because funds have some deep pockets and need to invest in something very quickly.
Having said that, most of VCs fundraising has been down this year.
There has been a shift of money from smaller funds to bigger funds.
Most of private companies that do well get bought before they go public (Skype, PayPal...).
Do you need to raise millions of money to start up your company on the Internet today? The game has changed from late 90's where servers were expensive and Internet costs a lot.
Also it looks like VCs are chasing for deals rather than deals coming through their ears I wonder what entrepreneurs (who try to raise money today) think about that statement.
