VCs have received the largest amount of cash since 2001.  Over $34 Billion (with a B) for 2007.  For all our talk about the need for smaller investments, the money is what it is.  How do you invest $34 Billion in amounts of $25k to 100k?

Are VCs Killing the Startup Stars

Monday, January 14th, 2008

More news on the emergence of smaller opportunities for investment.  Along those lines, are VCs hurting the startup community by continuing to invest large amounts in startups?

We believe that their is a larger spectrum of startups that will need everything from micro investments to A and B round of investments.   Simply put, many haven’t recognized that their is an emerging need for smaller investments.  Of those companies that receive anywhere from$10k to 100k some will need additional capital investments, but many may be able to scale solely using the smaller investment.

A question then, is how do you invest with smaller amounts and get it to pay off?
