Houston risks being shut out of America’s future innovation economy if it can’t attract more growth venture capital.

That’s the warning coming out of a report by Rice University’s Baker Institute.

It says that venture capital in Houston went down by at least 13 percent from 2006 to 2016, while it went up nationwide.

Ed Egan, director of the school’s McNair Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, co-authored the analysis.

He joins us for the Bauer Business Focus.
