The National Venture Capital Association has released Venture View 2010, its annual survey of more than 325 venture capitalists across the U.S. Among the findings: most respondents predict slightly more dollars going into more companies in 2010. But the prognosis for the entire asset class is a gradual pullback in size, over the next five years.
Among the areas most likely to enjoy increases in investment activity are clean technology, with 54 percent predicting growth. Other favored industries include Internet (46 percent), Media and Entertainment (33 percent) and Software (32 percent). No surprise – a whopping 70 percent of respondents believe there will be more venture capital investment flowing into Asia, particularly into China-based companies.
