A shimmer of sunlight has penetrated the derecho of economic doom and gloom that seems to permeate, well, everything. For entrepreneurs, anyway. Early-stage startups, specifically.
According to numbers from The Deal, the number of funds backing early-stage startups is growing. Something about VCs concentrating "on finding IT startups with limited capital needs rather than late-stage companies that may need significant sums to ramp up production or to weather a downturn in business until the recession is over."
So start cranking out those cocktail-napkin blueprints. A window may be cracked open.
