OK, not alot of action on this blog lately since I have been trying to squeeze in some time off ... perhaps a little too much time following the TDF, but what better way to come back than to share this Mass High Tech alert in my Saturday morning email?! As you can see in the quote below, VC investing up nicely on a national basis - check out the full MHT article too: "Nationwide, across all sectors, venture-backed companies took in $5.3 billion in Q2, 2009, spread across 595 funding deals, the financial tracking organization reported. The total dollars represented a 31.7 percent increase over Q1’s dismal $4 billion invested – the greatest Q2 over Q1 increase in the past five years." Let's hope that this is a "leading indicator" for the general economy too!
