Bullish Outlook For Venture Capital In 2011? - 09-02-2011
The National Venture Capital Association recently published their annual survey - Venture View 2011: Venture Capital Predictions Survey. Overall the survey points to more venture investing in 2011 although I don't expect much of this venture investing to be focused on seed or start-up capital. Although 49% of VCs report that they plan to invest in expansion and seed investments, there is no differentiation in the study to say how many plan to invest in seed investments, nor does it break out the percent of funds to be invested in seed investments. My recent experience is showing the majority (80%+ or more) of funds are going to later stage companies, very little (I'm estimating less than 5% of all VC funds) are going towards true seed capital and innovative start-ups. Most seed money is also being invested in industry piers or industry experts with substantial market and industry expertise.
