Venture capitalism is alive and well. And collecting money to fund startups is at a pace not seen since the dot-com bubble days.
How do I know that?
Well, all we need do is check the stats from Dow Jones VentureSource. It recently reported that in Q1, U.S. venture funds have collected about $13 billion.
This amount would be the largest total since the dot-com boom in 2000. That’s a statistic that can offer investors optimism — and instill a justifiable sense of fear — all in the same breath.
