Ann Grimes of Dow Jones VentureWire put together a report entitled "The Journal Report: Trends" dated 21 Nov 05. The trends are:
- The China Strategy
- Cleantech
- Digital Living Room
- New Kids on the Block (i.e new VC firms)
- Rock Stars (i.e appointing Colin Powell or Bono to join your venture firm)
- Web 2.0 (a new crop of internet companies)
- Older and Wiser (money going back into old companies that weather the dotcom storm)
- Adopting Orphans (funds set up to buy and spin technology that major corporates ignore)
- Telecom Comeback (VOIP and new broadband technologies mean telecom is back)
- Late Exits (it is taking longer to achieve exits, an average of 5.5 years for trade sale and 5.8 years for IPO)
Bottom Line: Know your investors. Play to the trends. Read the full article.
