Venture Funding “Roared Back” Q4, increasing 78% from Q3!

January 5, 2010

The results are in, total venture capital rose 78% from Q3 to Q4 last year and 113% over Q4 2008! Growth capital investments started to heat up Q3 last year and hopefully will continue to increase this quarter as well. It would be interesting to know if global consulting services or strategic consulting services increase as well. This would be an interesting statistic to learn if small companies were outsourcing these types of services or getting more creative internally.

Happy Investing and good luck Q1!
