This week, I asked three venture capitalists to describe what kind of startups have been hitting them up for funding lately. They each said something similar: “startups? These days, we see more pitches from new funds who want us to invest in them.”
For those of you who don’t follow venture capital closely, the boom of the last several years has attracted a flood of capital and made starting a venture fund—once the purview of grizzled tech veterans with deep checkbooks and deeper rolodexes—seem much easier.
