    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Nevertheless, venture capital is romanticized as one of the drivers of the American economy, when entrepreneurship expert Amar Bhide has ascertained that only about 1% of new ventures are funded by VC. A story today the Mercury News (hat tip bob) on how the poor performance of VC this year is part of a longer decline, raises bigger issues about the trajectory of the economy and the role of venture funders in it. It may simply be that (contrary to the McKinsey VC’s forecasts) funding levels have not fallen in line with the industry’s performance, and it needs to shrink further so that there aren’t too many investors chasing too few of the hot deals. It may also be that the VC industry is a casualty of the global financial crisis, in that individual investors remain skittish about the market, and their reservations are reinforced by high frequency trading, which leaves the little guy at a disadvantage. But predictably, even though the article makes it clear that the problems with VC are long-standing, many of the fund operators want to blame it on “uncertainty,” which at least on this coast, means the government.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["In the middle east, we've seen the power of the Internet in the Arab Spring. I believe we are in for a lot more of that sort of thing and that it will not be limited to repressive governments, but to all large institutions that seek to control people and their free will. This is the cultural revolution that I referred to in my talk with Erick at Disrupt.

I think investors should be aware of what is coming and seek to invest in it where it is investable. I'm curious what the AVC community thinks of this investment thesis and where we should be looking for opportunities that fit into this thesis."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["It amazes me that 50+ people could suddenly come out of the woodwork in an effort to “build a new relationship that’s not really a relationship” thinking it would give them an opportunity, or even an advantage, in the context of a set of hot companies.

When I think about the relationships I’ve developed, whether it be with investment bankers, LPs, co-investors, or anyone else, they evolve over a period of time. They don’t require boondoggles or fancy things; they require sincerity and substantive interaction over a long period of time. Then, when there are moments of opportunity, these are the people that I go to (and hopefully who come to me.)

There suddenly seem to be an abundance of “transaction relationships” out there. Entrepreneurs beware."]]></description>

We will launch competing, fee-free events directly opposite your events. We will encourage angels investors, service providers and startups to boycott your events. You may even find our street teams outside your events handing out flyers.

This isn’t a joke and this is a threat: stop charging startup companies to present or we will do everything we can to put you out of business with a competing, free option."

They work extremely hard, don’t get me wrong — they just don’t allocate funds very effectively. Societies top-heavy with financiers are in visible, physical decline — empty houses, unhealthy populations, decaying bridges, hollowed-out industries, that sort of thing."

We need to break the link that says (wrongly) VCs, like mutual fund managers and hedge funds, should be paid on the basis of assets under management. Venture fund complexity and cost do not rise linearly with assets, so we need to stop pretending they do. There are many way to fix this, but the easiest would be to make GP budgets a negotiated item with limited partners rather than being tied to assets. As a side effect, it would make more palatable and economical smaller funds, like those running under $30m, that cannot be operated at all on a 2% of assets basis."

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["This is a very long explanation, but the punch line is that as these large institutions adjust their portfolios and potentially abandon these more aggressive strategies, the amount of overall capital committed to alternative assets will undoubtedly shrink. As this happens, the VC industry will shrink in kind. How much will it go down? It is very hard to say. It would not be surprising for many of these funds to cut their allocation in the category in half, and as a result, it shouldn’t be surprising for the VC industry to get cut in half also."

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["A group of student entrepreneurs has opened a small-business incubator in the basement of a downtown Ann Arbor building. They'll spend the summer sharing space, equipment and ideas.

The incubator, called the TechArb, hosts 30 students running 10 different start-ups. The space came together with the help of Ann Arbor venture capital firm RPM Ventures, the University of Michigan College of Engineering's Center for Entrepreneurship, and a new student-run entrepreneurial organization on campus, Maize Ventures."

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Private equity and venture capital to major countries has slowed or fallen in recent quarters, although the long term still looks promising. Ajay Shah, a senior fellow at the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy, calls India a “pre-modern market economy” that lacks a well-integrated bond market and other financial infrastructure to move money quickly into the system.  Large conglomerates such as Tata and other Top 100 firms in India “will tap into all types of cash you’ve never heard of,” he says. But other companies –- especially family-run firms that lack diverse products –- cannot find debt capital and are being pounded by “unprecedented negative shocks to cash flow.”"

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["But it comes at a price. When the entrepreneur returns to the VC, an epic battle ensues over valuations. In a climate of fear, the power pendulum swings back to the VCs. The VC knows that an entrepreneur won’t be as likely to get money elsewhere, so he plays hardball. The entrepreneur is more ready to cave in on the valuation. That means when a VC gives the entrepreneur money, the VC can claim more ownership of the company with a given amount of investment (because the company is worth less.) Tension rises, and boardroom fights begin. I saw it all unfold last time, when I started covering venture capital in 2001."
