据纽约时报报道,硅谷风投们将减少对新生公司的投资,原因在于那些没有上市但仍需要后续投资的公司消耗了大量的资金,另外也是出于对疲软经济的担心。整体而言,第二季度风投资金仍和上季度持平,约74亿美元。但那些投向初次融资的资金减少了12%,从一季度的18亿美元降到二季度的16亿美元。此外,投向初次融资的资金仅占总风险资金的21%,为2004年第4季度来最低水平。
According to the New York Times, Silicon Valley VCs will reduce their investment in nascent companies because companies that are unlisted but still require follow-on investment will spend large sums of money and are also concerned about the weak economy. Overall, VC funds remained flat in the second quarter from a quarter ago, at approximately $ 7.4 billion. However, those funds invested in initial financing decreased by 12% from $ 1.8 billion in the first quarter to $ 1.6 billion in the second quarter. In addition, the funds invested in initial financing accounted for only 21% of the total venture capital, the lowest level in Q4 2004.
