2010 Early Stage Finance Global 
Both Sides of the Table
JULY 23, 2014
The “big boom” in startup financing started around March 2009?—?more Early-stage VCs have realized that they need to capitalize on this trend, which is why many traditional VCs have set up “opportunity” funds that sit alongside their core funds as a means of capturing more private-market (pre IPO) value.

Yes, it’s true that FOMO (fear of missing out) is driving some irrational behavior and valuations amongst uber competitive deals and well-financed VCs. Try charging customers for your product when you have 12 competitors giving the product away free finances by $20 million of VC. The Exit Problem. Today’s Normalization.

The smart home business is still in the very early stages in India, and it will take some time before Evolutech ramps up. From 2008 to 2010, Mitra was a columnist for Forbes. These resellers buy devices from the U.S. and Singapore at significantly higher prices and presumably would be open to sourcing lower-cost parts.

I published in 2010 a research study on best practices in how private equity and VC funds source investments. However, VCs, who pride themselves on making bold bets, have rarely funded entrepreneurs in Quadrant IV, particularly at the early stage. Another example is 645 Ventures, a new venture fund founded by Nnamdi Okike.
