SOUTHWEST VENTURE

The NVCA issued a release this morning on VC fundraising totals though June 30. The basic themes are:

Consolidation – Fewer firms are raising more money. The top 10 funds raised 70% of the Q2 total
Stage Creep – Proportionately more money is going to later stage opportunities.

In Q2 2007, 68 VC Funds raised $7.2 billion dollars, which following the themes above represented fewer funds, raising more absolute dollars, than in Q1.

The full release: from NVCA: “Venture Capital Fundraising Activity Healthy and Prudent in Second Quarter of 2007″
