This is the final part of a 3-part series on the major changes in the structure of the software & the venture capital industries. With more competition in early-stage many VCs are investing smaller amounts at earlier stages. Some are going later stage to not miss out on hot deals.

Private equity and venture capital investors are copying our sisters in the hedge fund and mutual fund world: we’re trying to automate more of our job.

The other day, I noticed an eye-catching headline: "Internet Funding Boom Ends as Fast as It Began".

This is part of my series on Understanding Venture Capital. In an early stage deal that fund might reserve 2x their initial investment or if it’s a larger round or later stage they might reserve 1x. But you can do some focused Internet-based research before approaching the firms.

How Much Capital You Have Raised / Your Runway In general I recommend that in early-stage startups you try to raise at least 15-18 months of runway. In general you should allow yourself 4–6 months of time to fund raise (longer if you’re later stage and require a much bigger round) so calculating anticipated burn rate is pretty easy.
