VC Investing on the UPSWING!
July 18, 2009
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!
Social Networking for the busy NH Professional
July 2, 2009
Great article in this week’s UnionLeader from Lani and Allen Voivod inspiring those of us who are not fully in the social media game to get in - or get left behind! Trust me, I am one of the latecomers to this area, now is the time.
I did decide to go with this post versus one on the state of the economy because I felt like it would be good to be positive this week at the mid-year point and I don’t really feel that way about the economy right now, so let’s look forward, to the world of social networking! As they say in the article, “With 300 million folks on Facebook, and hundreds of millions more on other social sites, chances are your next big biz break or synchronistic connection is just a click away.”
