Bubble-era Ventures Snaffle Up Late Stage Venture
Ever wondered how many companies funded during the bubble survived, how many thrived, and how many went out of business? SVB Financial Group has the numbers and the charts online now. The investment bank's latest research found that contrary to the commonly held belief that the bulk of private technology companies left over from the boom are on the verge of fizzling out, these companies that were "conceived during the 2000 bubble-era comprise one-third of all private technology companies today, and the bulk of them — 70 percent — have received fresh funding within the last three years.
Although a lot of investments were written down (a dramatic graph above demonstrates trends), there is still a "large percentage" playing a "significant role in investment portfolios and dominating technology merger and acquisition activity".
VC Ratings weighs in with an analysis from the LP point of view.
