Silicon Valley venture capitalists are scaring their companies--and each other--with tough talk. The smart ones are also still investing.
In India, US venture capitalists invested $101 million in 13 deals in the first quarter, 29 per cent less than the $142 million via 22 deals in the March quarter of 2008, as per data compiled by research firm Dow Jones VentureSource. Venture capitalists put $1.87 billion, the lowest quarterly total since 2004, via 250 deals for emerging companies in India, China, Europe and Israel in the first quarter as fund managers prefer assured returns from portfolio investment.
