Democratization of Venture Capital (WashPost)
Excellent piece by Linda Bernardi. Jibes with my own experience. I know an entrepreneur who reached a ceiling locally when raising additional capital (this is in Toronto). Many would then turn to Silicon Valley, or other US locations, but he got on a plane to Hong Kong.
Funding in hand he was able to fully develop his startup, and made it to acquisition not long afterwards.
As long as the slow recovery continues (are we in another Panic of 1873 ?), startup investments, no matter how risky, will continue to be very attractive to investors who can't get good returns on bonds, etc. No need to restrict the search for capital to the "usual suspects".
