Corporate Venture Capital

Jun 17, 2009 by Sam

We hate to “toot” our own horn ( ok we don’t hate it) but as we uncannily predicted once again corporate venture capital activity has proven to be a fantastic indicator of the top of the market… The corporates entrance is a great signal of the top of the market…( one can ponder what kind of signal does the governement entrance into private equity signal: not sure, but almost certainly nothing positive for anyone but the politicians and their benefactors) It was the case with this last venture cycle… Ok. The question is : now what ? The answer is unclear, but one thing we do know… Opportunities abound in markets like this ( especially the private market…) ..From Early stage and up…. its a really good time to be investing in private companies ( For now publics are generally overvalued.) Its a strange world..
