Global trends in venture capital2009 report |
Are venture capitalists battling the global recession blues or feeling optimistic about the new opportunities for investing in technology? We wanted to know the answers to this question, as well as what is on the minds of venture capitalists around the world as they plan their future investment moves. The economic downturn is the financial story of the year, so it was the obvious choice as the theme of the Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (DTT) Technology, Media & Telecommunications (TMT) industry group’s 2009 global venture capital survey.
This year, we obviously hit a nerve; we received 725 responses—almost double the number compared to last year. The respondents are general partners of venture capital firms with assets under management ranging from less than US$100 million to greater than US$1 billion.
