But in 2012 a visit to any major college in America will show you the massive increase in aspirations of our young talent to become the next Mark Zuckerberg and build a future Facebook. So it is unsurprising that an over-funding environment and the commensurate returns hangover would have lasted until about – well – 2012.

I thought about things I never had to as an entrepreneur: check size, ownership percentage, deal stage, portfolio construction and risk. When the market tanked they had the “triage problem&# – which portfolio companies to save, which to kill. Don’t spend like it’s 1999. So no new deals got done.
