Q3 VC Funding Numbers Reveal Little About Crisis Impact

• # of funds:
  • Q3 07: 78
  • Q3 08: 55 (-29%)
• $ raised:
  • Q3 07: $9.2B
  • Q3 08: $8.1B(-12%)
• Top 3 Funds:
  • Sequoia Capital – $930M – late-stage fund
  • Austin Ventures – $900M – middle-stage fund
  • InterWest Partners – $650M – early-stage fund
• The numbers seem right on with the slow decline following last years bubble.  Although, an important safety tip Egon: these stats are from before that recent economic thing.

No cause for concern here yah?
