Some say the feel-good days of venture capital are over. They point out that VC has faced significant headwinds in the past few years, and that it often has taken on a less glamorous role than it did in the heady times when venture capital was considered synonymous with start-ups.
It’s true that the number of funds has been shrinking, even as corporate VC has surpassed the levels of the dot-com era. And it’s also true that you’re more likely to find VC money invested in companies that are at later, revenue-generating levels, while family, friends and angel investors are more likely to fund early-stage companies.
